Description

Earthworks — Browns & Ochres — 6×22 ml Mini Set

Clay banks, bark grain, trail dust—Earthworks is a grounded, workhorse palette for leather, timber, bases, and sunbaked stone. Layer fast, blend cleanly, and finish ultra-flat for rugged, readable results on the table and in photos.

Why you’ll love it

  • Natural earth tones: Browns and ochres that look like real soil, wood, and hide.

  • BSG workflow built in: 2 Base, 2 Sketch, 2 Glaze for fast, repeatable finishes.

  • Ultra-flat finish: No unwanted shine—perfect for terrain and gear.

  • Project-friendly volume: 6 bottles × 22 ml each.

What’s inside

  • Base (100% opaque): Compound Fracture, Graveyard Grim

  • Sketch (pre-thinned, semi-opaque): Kevin, Yeehaw Rawhide

  • Glaze (pre-thinned, transparent): Ground Dweller Sepia, Mud Pie Brown

How to use

  1. Base with Compound Fracture (sunlit clay/bone) and Graveyard Grim (deep loam/bark).

  2. Sketch texture: pull Kevin for cool-brown shaping and plank grain; use Yeehaw Rawhide to warm straps, edges, and leather mids.

  3. Glaze character: wash Ground Dweller Sepia for dusty, oily grime; tuck Mud Pie Brown into cracks, tread, and bark recesses for believable depth.

  4. Optional: Feather a final Yeehaw Rawhide pass across the brightest edges for that hand-rubbed look—without gloss.

Tech specs

  • Finish: Ultra-flat

  • Volume: 6×22 ml bottles

  • Use: Brush or airbrush (glazes are pre-thinned; add reducer as needed)

  • Best results: Over mid-grey or ivory primers; combine light stippling + glazes for wood and soil textures.

Pairs perfectly with:

  • Verdant Realms (Greens & Moss) — natural foliage and moss tones to expand woodland scenes.

  • Wood & Leather (Adventurer Kit) — straps, scabbards, bows, and furniture that harmonize with your earth bases.
