This new Instant Colors color range is designed to make painting fast and effective, without necessarily having any knowledge
of painting or miniature painting techniques, especially if you are seeking to paint your armies quickly and with a certain quality.
Simply by applying the color to a surface previously primed in white or a similar tonal shade, the paint in its own will highlight the
volumes of the sculpture by enhancing highlights and shadows.

But this does not mean that a higher-quality painting exercise cannot be done, taking into account some pictorial concepts and
the technique used to carry them out.

It is about applying certain concepts or watercolor painting principles to your figure. In watercoloring, the paper’s whiteness is
respected for maximum highlight points. The same applies here with priming white.

For this purpose, color will be applied to the figure with the paintbrush following a zenithal lighting scheme. This will ensure that
when the paintbrush is moved along the surface it will be carrying the paint with it, concentrating it towards the shadow areas
and providing more transparency to highlight areas. The layering of different color shades will always be focused on enhancing
shadows or creating intermediate shades, always providing maximum highlight areas with a higher transparency of the
white priming.
