Master Speedpainting with Vallejo Xpress Color
When you need to paint multiple figures in a fast way, Vallejo Xpress Color is the ideal choice. These matt colors are specifically formulated to paint miniatures in a fast and easy way, making them a favorite for tabletop gamers and commission painters alike. This range allows you to move from bare plastic to a finished army in record time without sacrificing visual quality.
The main characteristics of this range are its excellent capillarity. This unique property allows the color to flow easily over the miniature surface, settling on all the reliefs and more intensely in the crevices of the figure. By doing so, it creates a striking contrast effect with a single layer of paint, providing instant depth and definition to your models.
Application and Professional Techniques
For the best results, it is recommended to apply Vallejo Xpress Color on a white or grey primed or painted surface. The transparent nature of the pigment interacts with the light undercoat to create bright areas on the reliefs, saturated mid-tones, and intense shadows in the crevices. This “one-coat” system mimics the complex layering and shading techniques used by professional artists.
Like all professional hobby products, these paints are very versatile. They can be applied over any color in the range to create soft shading and contouring effects. Furthermore, they are excellent for creating glazes or filters and for blending smooth transitions between different color tones on larger surfaces like cloaks or vehicle panels.
Customization and the Full Color Palette
The Vallejo Xpress Color range is designed for creativity. All colors can be mixed together to create unique hues, or they can be diluted with Xpress Medium to modify the intensity or create custom washes. The addition of the unique Metallic Medium even allows you to transform these colors into shimmering metallic tints.
