The Army Painter: Wash - Stone Skin Shade

Stone Skin Shade is a cool, mineral gray wash crafted specifically to shade stone‑flesh, statues, constructs, and rocky textures. It’s lighter and more natural than Dark Tone, cooler and more mineral than Strong Tone, and sits perfectly in that “weathered stone shadow” zone.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Cool gray shading ideal for stone constructs, gargoyles, golems, statues, petrified heroes, and rocky creatures

• Adds mineral depth without pushing the model too dark or muddy

• Perfect for textured surfaces where the wash settles into cracks and crevices like natural erosion

• Smooth flow that creates crisp, readable shadows with a realistic stone vibe

Painter’s Vibe

Stone Skin Shade brings that “ancient monument, cracked granite, enchanted statue waking from slumber” energy — perfect for elemental warriors, arcane constructs, dungeon terrain, and any miniature that thrives in cool, mineral shading.
