FAQs
Do I need to thin Wyldwood with water?
No, Contrast paints are designed to be used straight from the pot. If you want to change the flow, use Citadel Contrast Medium instead.
Can I use Wyldwood over a black primer?
It is not recommended. Contrast paints rely on a light base coat to show their shading and color depth properly.
Is this paint acrylic-based?
Yes, it is a water-based acrylic formulation that is non-toxic and easy to clean with water.
Can I mix Wyldwood with other Contrast colors?
Yes, you can mix it with other Contrast paints or Contrast Medium to create custom shades and tones.
How long does it take to dry?
It typically dries within 15 to 30 minutes depending on the ambient humidity and thickness of the layer applied.
What is the best brush to use with this paint?
A medium-sized synthetic or sable brush with a good point is ideal for managing the flow and coverage.
Troubleshooting
Paint is pooling or looking blotchy on flat surfaces
Use a clean, damp brush to wick away excess paint from the surface immediately after application.
The finish looks too transparent
Ensure your base coat is bright white or light grey; darker undercoats will significantly mute the Wyldwood pigment.
Paint dried too fast and left visible brush strokes
Try working in smaller sections and ensure your brush is adequately loaded to maintain a "wet edge" during application.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly reduces painting time compared to traditional layering methods
- Provides built-in shading and highlighting without manual wash steps
- Highly effective for deep wood, organic, or dark leather textures
- Compatible with a wide variety of miniature materials
Cons
- Requires a smooth primer base to avoid pooling or streaking
- Can be difficult to correct mistakes once the layer has dried
- May require extra thinning if the pigment settles too heavily
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before using Wyldwood, ensure your miniature is primed with a smooth, even layer of paint. For long-term preservation of the product, always close the lid firmly after use to prevent the water-based medium from evaporating. If the paint becomes too thick, you can use a small amount of Contrast Medium to restore its flow properties, but avoid using excessive water, as this can break down the unique binding agents that create the shading effect. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
