Vallejo's new book by authors Pedro González and Ángel Giráldez describes how to use True Metallic Metals paints. It is intended to become the indispensable reference book for understanding and mastering Vallejo's new True Metallic Metal color palette. Preserving the clarity, simplicity and practical approach of its predecessor, this new volume introduces miniature painters and tabletop enthusiasts to the secrets of metallic painting through vivid examples, useful tips and step-by-step instructions. The book introduces the basics of True Metallic Metal, explains the application of the BSL (Base, Shade, Light) system to metallic paints, and develops the principles of volumetry and lighting. In doing so, it lays a solid foundation for any painter who wants to achieve more controlled, expressive, and consistent results. It also looks at color theory in relation to metallic colors, chromatic harmony, and contrast, and provides practical tools to understand how each color choice affects the final appearance of a model painted with metallic tones. True Metallic Metal – BSL System: An indispensable tool for the new era of metallic painting. The book concludes with a complete step-by-step guide to painting the character Elysia and demonstrates the application of the TMM method from the first steps to the final finish. Technology, artistic judgement and visual storytelling are integrated. On the pages, readers will find recommendations on tools, brush use, basic techniques and special airbrush techniques, as well as numerous insights from the authors' professional experience. At the center of the book is the detailed examination of the color families of the True Metallic Metal series: yellow, orange, red, magenta, violet, blue, turquoise, green, bronze, gold and silver. Each chapter analyzes the behavior of each color family, its visual characteristics, its relationship with light, and the most effective combinations to achieve volume, tonal richness, and coherence in the application of the BSL system. This approach makes the book the ideal guide to unlocking the full potential of Vallejo True Metallic Metal paints. The content is complemented by a section that deals with aging effects and combinations with other color series, thus expanding the creative and expressive possibilities of the painter.
