Two Thin Coats Manticore Ochre - Midtone

Two Thin Coats Manticore Ochre Midtone is a Two Thin Coats paint developed for miniature painters who want smooth coverage and a warm, earthy ochre tone for layered color work. As part of the Two Thin Coats paint range by Duncan Rhodes, this midtone is designed to bridge shadow and highlight stages within a structured painting system.

The rich, slightly yellow-brown tone of Manticore Ochre is especially effective for leather, cloth, bone-adjacent materials, and sun-worn surfaces, making it a versatile choice for both fantasy and realistic miniature painting. It provides a stable midtone layer that allows painters to maintain warmth and natural color transitions while building depth across organic textures.

Like other Two Thin Coats miniature paints, it features high pigmentation, smooth consistency, and excellent coverage, enabling controlled layering without obscuring fine detail. The paint is designed for thin application, allowing for smooth blending and a consistent matte finish, which is particularly important when working with natural tones and subtle gradients

Within the wider Two Thin Coats range, Two Thin Coats Manticore Ochre Midtone functions as part of a shadow–midtone–highlight triad system, where midtones act as the core color layer between darker shadows and brighter highlights. This structured approach ensures smooth transitions and repeatable results across miniature painting projects
