Spring Cleaning A Garden of Morr Then Expanding Upon It
Roofs, Rust and Railings
For the roofs of the three buildings I used an equal mix of Leviadon Blue and Creed Camo contrast paint mixed with equal part thinner. Rather than use a shop bought thinner I make my own from acrylic matt medium and water.
I applied two coats of this mix then once dry I lightly drybrushed with a light grey to bring out the details.
Next I gave the statue an additional drybrush to whiten it up a little to make I look like it was carved from a higher quality stone.
I then painted all of the ground earth with Gore-Grunta Fur contrast followed by a drybrush of a light beige.
I then painted all of the iron work black. This was a little time consuming but certainly a necessity.
Next I started on the rust. The first paint was some cheap artist’s acrylic, burnt siena which actually contained red iron oxide as its pigment, ie rust. Unfortunately although it went on well enough when dried it faded and dulled quite a bit so I went over all the metal work again with Vallejo Red Leather Model colour which is pretty much the same colour.
To finish of the rust effect I roughly drybrushed with Game Color Bloody Red and finally Game Color Orange Fire.
