    A wash is nothing more then a very diluted covering of paint applied with a brush.
    I use waterbased paints so for me its a tiny bit of paint and a good amount of water.

    The goal is to lightly tint the surface colors.

    Thanks for the info.I thought that was what it was but wasn't sure.Your work is fantastic and I will try to use these methods and see what I get.I quess that is what I did when I made my rock.I painted it with powdered paints that I thinned with water.Rock came out great but of corse I will be using water base paint instead of powdered.
