JOA Castle Painting - Unfinished Business

After attempting to update the post at 4am this morning I managed to loose everything.  So trying again…

This is probably not the best way of painting but for giving a good variation of underlying colours and so a weather-beaten well established look to the pieces it turned out really well.

The next stage was to put a bit more colour on the walls – some green underneath the hoardings and on places on the walls, and some green, yellow and burnt umber around some of the bottom course of stonework to balance them and not look top-heavy.  I also used the same colours on the low wall pieces, the stone bridge and the rock formations that I had previously started last year.

I wanted the window slits lit up with the burning torches of the frantic be-sieged castle inhabitants all doing their bit to keep the castle secure.

I base coated each window with Citadel Averland Sunset and then a 50:50 water to GW Blazing Orange wash in parts of the windows.  I will touch these up again later with a bit of bright yellow and a gloss varnish to make them pop.

Back to the roofs:  I drybrushed several coats of GW Hawk Turquoise upwards onto the shingles on all the roof panels, and on the well that I had begun before.

I made up a few different cream colours and painted in all the daub panels and then washed all the timberwork, out-buildings, walkways and roofs with a very watered down Citadel Nuln Oil (over 50:50 water).

More progress in the next Entry…
