The Army Painter – John Blanche Masterclass: Umberroot – WP4116P
Colour: Dark warm reddish-brown / umber
Finish: Matte
Contents: 18 ml
The Army Painter John Blanche Masterclass Umberroot is a dark, warm reddish-brown acrylic paint for miniature painting. The rich earth tone is ideal for wood, leather, earth, dark skin, weathered equipment and deep warm shadows within grimdark and gothic colour schemes.
Deep earth brown with a warm undertone
Umberroot has the deep appearance of classic umber, complemented by a warm reddish-brown undertone. This makes the colour a strong base for natural materials and weathered surfaces without becoming flat or neutral brown.
The shade works particularly well when you want to use dark, earthy colours that still retain sufficient warmth and character.
Ideal for wood, leather and earth
Use Umberroot as a base colour for wooden shafts, chests, tools, belts, bags and leather equipment. It also forms a useful dark undercoat for mud, earth, rocky bases and natural scenery.
With lighter browns, ochres and beige shades, you can then easily build up worn edges, grain and texture.
Strong for skin and weathered equipment
The warm reddish-brown colour can also be used for dark skin tones or as a deep shadow colour within warm skin palettes. In addition, Umberroot works well on clothing, armour and equipment that needs to receive a dusty, weathered or rusty appearance.
In combination with dark metallics and rust shades, a lived-in grimdark finish is quickly achieved.
Versatile for various techniques
Umberroot is suitable for basecoating, layering, shading, glazing, stippling and drybrushing. When thinned, the paint can be used to apply warm shadows, while stippling works excellently for dirt, leather and damaged surfaces.
Combine Umberroot with Banshee Brown and Sunburst Ochre for lighter earth tones, or with Grim Rust and dark metallics for weathered industrial surfaces.
Usage
Shake the bottle well before use. Apply Umberroot in several thin layers as a dark base or shadow shade. Then work up to lighter browns, ochres or ivory shades for clear texture and highlights, while Umberroot remains visible in seams and recesses.
