Good groundwork needs a good brown, and Dark Earth is the deep, rich soil tone that anchors a base. This ultra-fine AK pigment is made for mud, damp earth and the freshly turned ground that a model sits in — the detail that ties miniature to scene. Apply it dry for a dusting or wet for thick, clumping mud.
