Citadel Shade: Reikland Fleshshade (18ml)
The go-to warm flesh wash: it flows into recesses to create natural-looking depth and shadow, making skin, golds, parchment, and warm tones instantly richer and more defined.
 
What it does
Draws out details by settling into crevices for fast, realistic shading.
Leaves a smooth matt finish (no unwanted shine).
Water-based and easy to clean up.
 
How to use
Paint your base colours and let them dry.
Brush on Reikland Fleshshade so it runs into recesses (faces, muscles, cloth folds, panel lines).
If it pools on flat areas, wick away the excess with a clean damp brush.
Let it dry fully before re-layering/highlighting.
 
Best for
Skin tones (warm definition on faces, hands, muscles)
Gold metallics (instant warm richness)
Parchment, bone-adjacent details, leather, warm cloth shadows

ChalkyDot Tip: For “pro clean” flesh, use it as a targeted wash—only into eyes/nose/mouth lines and deep folds—then re-layer your mid-tone on the raised areas. You keep the skin bright while still getting strong definition.
