Dry, dusty earth is the bread and butter of convincing groundwork, and this is the gouache that gets you there. AK's Earth (Dry) recreates parched soil and light dirt on vehicle undersides, scenery and those tell-tale build-ups in the corners of a model. Mix it with real soil or plaster and you can vary the texture as well as the tone.
