CP1 Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Here’s the finished product 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP1 Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 So I primed the plaster casting white. Using acrylic dark/light brown stone colors, I sprayed the dark color first. I use a hair dryer to speed the drying time. I don’t like waiting 😂. Then I use the other colors like a wash. I usually use three different like colors. It leaves a marble like finish. Put a little paint on a flat brush and dip it in water. Then let the watery paint mixture flow over the object. Once it dries add more if needed and then move on to the next color. I will be adding some Woodland Scenics water to the fountain once it arrives. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Looks great. Do you glue them individually with white glue or are they just set in place so far? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
