Using wash inks like Andalusian Earth or Agrax Earthshade is simple and effective, even for beginners. Here's a step-by-step guide to getting the most out of your acrylic ink:

1. Prepare your miniature: Before applying the wash ink, make sure your miniature is clean, primed, and has its base covered. Andalusian Earth works especially well over lighter basecoats, such as beige, ivory, or light gray, as these colors allow the wash to create a more dramatic effect.

- Modeling brushes: Load a medium-sized brush and apply it liberally to the miniature. Concentrate on areas with deep recesses, such as armor plates, fabric folds, or facial features.

- Airbrush: If you're covering a larger area or want a smoother gradient, use an airbrush to apply the paint. Thin it slightly. with a paint thinner to ensure optimal flow.

3. Application: Work into the recesses of the miniature, allowing gravity to draw the paint into the cracks and crevices. Be careful not to let the paint pool excessively on flat areas, as this can create unwanted blotches or smudges. You can experiment with layering, for example, by applying several thin coats to achieve greater depth and richness in the shading.

4. Remove excess: Use a clean, dry brush or cotton swab to gently remove excess paint from raised areas. This step ensures that the product enhances details without obscuring them.

5. Let it dry: Allow it to dry completely before applying additional coats or highlights. Drying times may vary depending on ambient conditions.

6. Seal your work: Once it has dried, consider sealing your miniature with a matte varnish to protect the paint and enhance the finish.
