CP1 Posted June 23 Author 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
CP1 Posted June 23 Author Posted June 23 Finished this side…now to the other side. I will take a better picture tomorrow when it’s not so dark. 3

GusMac Posted June 27 Posted June 27 Looks great. Do you glue them individually with white glue or are they just set in place so far? 1
