The Army Painter: Wash - Wash Medium

Wash Medium is the clear, flow‑enhancing base used to create custom washes or to soften existing ones. It’s not a shade by itself — instead, it’s the control tool painters use when they want smoother flow, gentler shadows, or perfectly tuned transparency.

It’s thinner and more fluid than regular paint mediums, designed specifically to behave like the Fanatic washes while letting you dial in the exact strength you want.

Why Painters Reach for It

• Create custom washes by mixing with any Fanatic Tone

• Soften strong washes like Strong Tone, Dark Tone, or Dark Red Tone

• Increase flow so washes settle more smoothly into recesses

• Prevent tide marks on large surfaces like cloaks, armor plates, or terrain

• Maintain wash behavior without breaking pigment or causing patchiness

Painter’s Vibe

Wash Medium brings that “precision control, perfect flow, tuned shadows” energy — ideal for painters who want their shading exactly how they imagine it. It’s the secret weapon for pro‑level transitions, custom tones, and ultra‑smooth results.
