Vallejo Model Color - Canvas

Canvas is a warm, pale linen tone that does exactly what the name promises — tents, tarps, sails, sacking, straps and any hard-wearing fabric that needs to look woven rather than painted. A genuinely useful neutral from Vallejo's Model Color range.

At a glance

Best for

• Tents, tarps, sails and canvas kit
• Straw, sacking and worn fabric
• Smooth, self-levelling coats with minimal brushstrokes

Give it a brown wash into the folds and a pale drybrush on the raised weave and cheap plastic sacking suddenly looks the part.

The fabric tone you'll keep coming back to. Pair it with a brown wash and a sand highlight for instant texture.
