My goal is to match the color from the Baba Yaga in the adventureMy goal is to match the color from the Baba Yaga in the adventure

I set myself a personal goal to paint the terrain so it would match the look of Baba Yaga’s hut from the adventure in a single day.

I have a small collection of craft paints that I thought would be perfect.

 

It never feels right to me using expensive hobby paint on terrain.  First up was a basic red color to match the roof.  I took me two thick coats to get the color the way I wanted it over the primer.

Next up was matching the outside siding color.  I had an almond paint color that seemed to match perfectly.

I tried to use yellow for the legs of the house, but that color turned out horribly.

I used a basic brown color to paint the wood beams on the outside of the house.  This took me a few coats and a I also used this step as an opportunity to clean up any red or almond paint onto other areas.

I ended up deciding to add some almond color to the legs over the yellow color.  This helped get the legs to a more natural color.

I also used watered down brown paint for the feathers on the legs.  I did this so some of the gray primer would show through.
