Two Thin Coats Tempest Blue Wash - Wash

Two Thin Coats Tempest Blue Wash is a Two Thin Coats paint developed for miniature painters who want a cool-toned blue wash for adding depth, shading, and tonal variation to their models. As part of the Two Thin Coats paint range by Duncan Rhodes, this wash is designed to flow naturally into recesses and enhance contrast with minimal effort.

The deep, slightly desaturated blue tone of Tempest Blue Wash is especially effective for shading armor, cloth, metallics, and cool color schemes, making it a versatile tool for both fantasy and sci-fi miniature painting. It subtly tints surfaces while settling into recesses, helping define details and unify layers without overpowering the base colors.

Like other Two Thin Coats miniature paints, it features a smooth consistency and controlled flow, but is specifically formulated as a wash to settle into crevices rather than provide full coverage. This allows for efficient shading in a single application while preserving highlights and fine detail. The finish dries matte to satin, depending on application thickness, ensuring a natural result

Within the wider Two Thin Coats range, Two Thin Coats Tempest Blue Wash operates alongside the triad system as a shading tool rather than a core color. Washes are typically applied after base layers to deepen shadows, enhance contrast, and unify transitions across miniature painting projects.
