A guide for beginners and advanced students alike, showing how to paint camouflage patterns on German Army uniforms during World War II. This guide explains in a clear and simple way, using many photos, colour mixing charts and with interesting tips, how to depict complex German camouflage patterns using acrylic paints.

The painting of the following camouflage patterns is clearly illustrated:
- Pea pattern
- Palm pattern
- Splinter camouflage
- Oak leaf pattern
- Italian camouflage pattern

By the end of the Second World War, the armies involved in that conflict had an immense variety of camouflage clothing at their disposal, initiating a development that continues to this day: Today, virtually every field suit is camouflaged.

Some of the most fascinating camouflage designs of the Second World War were developed by the Germans. In fact, several of these designs could almost pass for works of art in their own right, so it is not surprising that some abstract artists who were among the best known of the time [sic!] were instrumental in their creation.

This book is a guide designed to explain, in the simplest and most graphic way possible, how to paint some of the distinctive camouflage uniforms used by German forces during the war. In this guide, oak leaf, splinter camouflage, palm camouflage, pea camouflage and the Italian pattern are explained in detail to give beginners and experienced painters alike access to these complex designs.
