Paint Set - Red

Green Stuff World's red box, and a smarter pick than six pots of red: Red Truth and Cutthroat Red form the core, Faded Orange and Peach Flesh handle highlights, and Malefic Purple and Wonka Violet shade red the proper way - down through purple instead of into muddy brown.

Red is notoriously awkward to shade and highlight from a single pot, which is exactly the problem this selection is built around.

£2.16 per pot in GSW's opaque matt Acrylic Color finish.

Best for: red cloaks and armour that need real depth, not just a wash over one red.
