Free GM Resource: Les' Wash Recipe

I'm being quite selfish with this week's Free GM Resource, which is basically just some free information that will cost you a little bit should you try to use it, but the results are well worth the price.

It's selfish because I had completely lost track of this information so when I needed to use it I was back to square one and not having a clue how to use the materials I had acquired.

The free info is how to make some awesome mini/terrain washes. The details can be located at a couple of different places, but if you don't save/print them you can be totally lost when the time comes.....much like I was.

These washes were for sale and then they weren't and then maybe they were, but the links I checked were no good....

WASH RECIPE:

You will need:

• Distilled Water (grocery store)
• Liquitex Matte Medium
• Liquitex Flow-Aid Fluid Additive
• Plastic Squeeze Bottle
• Daler-Rowney FW Acrylic Water-Resistant Artist's Ink
• Large Plastic Squeeze Filler Bottles
• Recipe notebook so you can write down custom mixes
• All recipes use 1 oz bottles. Adjust to whatever size you decide to go with.

Preparation:

1. Fill 1 filler bottle with Matte Medium, the other with a 10:1 Distilled Water and Flow Aid.
2. Fill the 1oz Dropper Bottle half way with Matte Medium then fill the rest of the way with the Water/Flow Aid mix leaving a little room for the ink drops so you dont over flow.
3. Every bottle uses this combination to start with.
4. Shake inks well before adding them to the mix.
