The Army Painter: Acrylic - Dryad Brown

Dryad Brown is a warm, natural mid‑brown with subtle earthy red undertones — the perfect “living wood” tone. It’s lighter and warmer than Oak Brown, softer than Tree Ancient, and sits beautifully in that “forest spirit, bark‑and‑leaf harmony” zone. This is the brown that feels like it belongs to creatures grown from the woods rather than carved from them.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Smooth Fanatic coverage ideal for bark textures, wooden armor, leather straps, roots, staffs, and natural gear

• Warm, organic brown tone perfect for dryads, treants, druids, forest guardians, and sylvan constructs

• Excellent mid‑tone between darker browns and lighter tan or bone highlights

• Matte finish that keeps natural textures readable and soft

Painter’s Vibe

Dryad Brown brings that “the forest breathes through this miniature” energy — perfect for woodland creatures, natural armor, rustic equipment, and any miniature that thrives in warm, organic, living‑earth tones.
