Citadel Shade Paint in Druchii Violet is a high-quality, water-based acrylic tool designed for miniature painters, hobbyists, and Warhammer enthusiasts who want to quickly add realistic depth and shadow to their models. By naturally flowing into the recesses of figures, it provides instant definition and professional-looking lowlights, though users should be mindful that its thin, wash-like consistency requires a controlled application to avoid pooling on flat surfaces.

Yes, you can add small amounts of water to create a lighter, more transparent glaze, though it is formulated to be used straight from the bottle.
It is a permanent acrylic paint once dry, though it can be removed with specialized brush cleaner or harsh solvents if you need to strip a model.
It works exceptionally well over metallic silver, grey, pale flesh tones, and lighter blues to provide cool-toned shadows.
While the finish is matte and durable, applying a varnish is recommended if you handle your miniatures frequently during gaming.
Yes, it is perfectly safe and effective on resin, provided the surface has been properly cleaned and primed.
Ensure you are not overloading your brush. Remove excess paint from the bristles on a paper towel before touching the model, and use a clean, dry brush to wick away excess pools.
Ensure the bottle is shaken well before each use, as the pigment can settle at the bottom during storage.
Setup: Before use, ensure your base coat is completely dry, as the water-based shade can re-activate or smear uncured acrylics. Shake the bottle thoroughly to ensure the pigment is evenly suspended.
Compatibility: This shade is fully compatible with all other Citadel acrylic paints. It works best over lighter base tones to allow the purple tint to show through, but can be used over darker colors to add a subtle hue variation.
Care: Keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use to prevent the paint from drying out. If the brush becomes stiff, wash it immediately with warm water and mild soap. If you accidentally spill the shade, wipe it up quickly with a damp cloth before it sets.
