This themed set from AK's Wargame Color range takes the mixing out of painting emeralds and green gemstones. The coordinated shades give you everything from a deep shadow tone to a bright highlight, so you can build convincing depth into a gem in a handful of steps.

They are water-based acrylics that brush on smoothly and dry to a matt finish ready for a gloss varnish spark of reflected light. Explore more model paints to round out your palette.
