I start by base coating the whole model with Charred Brown. This has no bene t for the green skin but it
does make painting the Orc's cloths/weapons easier.

To add depth to the model, I paint a watered down mix of Dark Green and Black into the all the recesses.
Whilst the consistency of this mix is akin to a wash, don't use it as an all over wash, instead use control to
target the speci c areas that need shading. Segui
