🛢️ Oil wash / panel lines

Intermediate

A thin dark wash flows into recesses and panel lines to add depth and grime.

🖌️ How it's done

Thin oil or enamel paint heavily with the right solvent, flow it into panel lines and around raised detail with a fine brush, let it grab for a minute, then wipe the excess off the flat areas with a barely-damp cloth. Build up in layers.
