It is important to consider how the figure is positioned when doing a wash. Gravity will tend to pull the wash to the lowest point, so you would not want to, for example, stand a figure upright and then wash his cloak unless you want much darker wash near the bottom where it will flow to. Let the figure set in this position until the wash is dry enough not to flow. You can then go on to another section of the figure. You cannot wash an entire figure at once due to the way that the wash will flow, but will have to do it in sections, even if all that you are washing is the same color.

When you get a dark color that you are happy with, add some water to the paint by dipping your brush into your rinse container and mixing it with the color. The consistency that you are after is about like milk. It should flow well and be fairly watery.

If using paint, you will mix some of the base color with a bit of black, making a much darker color than the original. Some use straight black for this, but a darker version of your base color will give a more natural look.
