Painting White: Neutral, Warm and Cool

November 2009·p. 97

THE SHORT VERSION

The workshop distinguishes hard neutral whites from cool clean cloth and warmer worn fabrics. It explains how undertones and surface material change the effect even when the final highlight is the same. Foundation paints provide coverage without requiring a thick layer. Organic white surfaces can instead be defined with local shading rather than a strongly coloured base.

Editorial: The Vermin at the Door

Mark writes as an increasingly alarmed Imperial scribe hearing rats outside his study. Jeremy Vetock’s new Skaven book becomes a forbidden scholarly account that confirms the rumours. References to Middle-earth and distant armoured heroes offer brief diversions from the threat. The playful introduction makes Imperial denial part of the issue’s launch theme.
