Working on buildings and market stalls
I noticed the actual Maeklong market residential buildings are all just drab concrete. Several of the buildings are painted in various bright colors so I decided to breakout My pastel paints and give them a try.
I found the pastels looked pretty good, in my opinion, but they did require many layers to get decent coverage.
I didn’t want the market stalls, especially the ones on the end, to have undetailed outer walls or out of place flat surfaces. I’ve used a technique with papier mache using tissue paper to detail and texture leather vehicle seats. I’ve used facial tissue in the past but I tried some single ply toilet paper as well here to attempt to make a tarp look. The most important thing doing this it to make sure your tissue paper doesn’t have patterns on in.

So the plan is to push through with my free time till the end of the month. I’m printing the last of the market stalls and then I’ll be printing vehicles.
