Velvet Inks: Goldleaf

Velvet Inks Goldleaf

Six Satin Acrylic Inks for Yellow-Green Shading, Filters, Weathering & Patina

Velvet Inks Goldleaf is a focused palette of rust, yellow-golds, green-golds, and deep greens designed to create natural-looking shading, smooth tonal transitions, and environmental effects. It’s equally at home painting mossy greens, aged cloth, foliage, grime, and patina (gold/brass/bronze) where green-gold tones make surfaces feel believable rather than flat.

Each ink is semi-transparent, highly concentrated, and finished with a smooth satin sheen—ideal for layering, glazing, filtering, and subtle color shifts without obscuring detail.

Included Colors (Green-Gold & Weathering Palette)

• Rust – PY83, PBR25
  Warm, earthy tone for aging, staining, reflections, and grounded shadows
• Rich Gold – PBR25, PY83, PY151
  Golden-brown filter tone for warmth, richness, and “sunlit” modulation
• Green Gold – PBR25, PG7, PY151, PY83
  Green-gold bridge tone for patina, foliage shifts, and color variation in your metals
• Acid Green – PB36, PY151
  Vivid yellow-green for magical effects, toxic glows, and high-contrast accents
• Forest Green – PG7, PY151
  Natural green for foliage, cloth, leather, and deep midtone shading
• Petroleum – PG7, PBR25
  Dark green-brown for grime, weathering, and deep recess shading

Together, these inks form a green-gold system for building believable depth, aging effects, and temperature shifts—especially useful when you want results that feel organic rather than “painted on.”

What You Get

• 6 × 15 ml ultra-concentrated acrylic inks
• Precision dropper bottles for repeatable dosing
• Agitator ball in each bottle for fast, consistent mixing
• High concentration: 15 ml ≈ 60+ ml of standard ink when diluted

Why This Set Works

Yellow-green tones are incredibly useful for miniature painting because they can:

• Create natural shading on greens without turning muddy
• Add environmental storytelling (moss, grime, age, staining)
• Shift temperature smoothly with transparent layers
• Bring metallics and NMM to life through reflected color, natural color and patina effects

Use them as subtle filters or bold accents depending on dilution—either way, the satin finish helps you achieve smooth transitions with strong chromatic depth.

Techniques & Applications

• Filters: Transparent layers to unify tones, add warmth, or shift temperature.
• Glazing: Build smooth modulation on cloth, foliage, leather, and organic surfaces.
• Weathering & Aging: Rust, grime, staining, and environmental buildup with controlled transparency.
• Patina: Verdigris-style effects on gold/brass/bronze, plus reflected color variation.
• Washes: Heavily dilute to shade recesses while preserving detail.
• Airbrush: Thin with water or acrylic thinner for gradients, filters, and atmospheric effects.

Velvet Inks Goldleaf is your go-to set for NMM depth—whether you’re painting living surfaces, aged materials, or metallics that need believable color and story.
