AK Acrylic Wash - Carmine Dawn

Carmine Dawn is a translucent red wash, designed to add shadows, depth, and smooth transitions in red or related warm-toned areas. For use over red, orange, or pink bases to intensify folds and recesses. Can be carefully applied over warm flesh tones to add a slight blush or depth in shadowed areas (cheeks, joints, muscles). Ideal for robes, cloaks, or red garments, providing quick volume and depth. Works well on shields, banners, symbols, or red gems, enhancing folds and edges. When applied sparingly on light materials (leather, scrolls), it can add a warm aged tint.

Comes in a bottle of 18ml.

Do you want to make your miniatures stand out?

Washes are the simplest and most effective way to give definition to your miniatures, adding depth and volume to every detail. The dark pigments naturally flow into recesses and crevices, instantly creating realistic shadows.

Get the deepest and sharpest shadows by applying over any base color. Odorless for comfortable long painting sessions.

They allow you to add color variation without losing the clarity of your main scheme. You can combine them freely to achieve the exact contrast and definition you’re looking for.

Its finish is matte, and its drying time is slow, which allows the effects to be worked properly. Designed to be applied with a brush, to control the pigment flow, allowing you to correct excessive buildup that gravity may cause. Apply, let dry, then paint your highlights with total confidence.
