Agree with Steve, I did read recently one drop of paint to 2 drops water.
A wet palett is the way to go with figures Alan. The dilution will take care of itself. You need it thin enough to flow off the brush without effort. Seriously though, look at a couple of starter videos by Vince Ventruella. Don’t worry about the subject, painting figures is pretty much the same whatever you are painting. He shows a wet palette in use and gives great tips on best practices. It’s far better than us trying to explain it in words
Alan I use either water from a dehumidifier or tap . We live in a hard water area , but doesn't seem to make any difference. Can't see any reason for not using the thinners if you want too.Tap water? I only ask as i have some Vallejo Thinner (061) that i could use if that is better?
I had a look at Vince's you tube channel and he has some really great advice on there, thanks for the recommendation TimA wet palett is the way to go with figures Alan.
