Abteilung 502 Oil Paint - Flesh Shadow (AKABT215)

Flesh Shadow is purpose-built for the trickiest part of figure painting — the shading. Formulated to give depth and subtle transitions, it keeps skin looking natural where the shadows fall, rather than muddy or flat. Used alongside Faded Flesh and the rest of the range, it's how you get the intense, dramatic results a well-painted face deserves.

Best for

• Shading and adding depth to figure skin
• Natural transitions across faces and hands
• Deepening recesses without losing warmth

It's the shadow half of a proper flesh palette — deep without ever going dirty, and forgiving enough to blend back if you lay it on too strong.

Depth for natural-looking skin. Blend it out with a soft filbert brush, and pair it with Faded Flesh for a complete skin transition.
