Thread: Ooops, I did it again...tombstone update

Tweet

Just an update on my tea staining attempts. After trying this twice, I'm still more of a dry brushing kinda guy. I seem to not be able to get the paint watering down...down. I get a gray wash over everything more than a distinct corroding from level surfaces type look.

The other thing I noticed is the way subtlety does not generally translate once the lights go down and the spots come on. I was getting excited over too much white, too much gray, etc. It seemed to all fade away once the spot was on it. Might as well saved two hours and left it at Dry-Loc.

Here's the pics including a dark + spot shot:

I love the skull design on this one! might have to copy that....

Fantastic! Love the old world look.

i like the brown on it i might have to try that!

great looking stone! Love the paint job!!!
Did you paint this today? Where is it warm enough to be painting? I want to move there!!!

I did paint these this morning right next to my oscillating heater.

They look great and very, very old.

I understand what you are saying about the spotlight at night washing away any detail painting. It does do that. I personally like the extra detail painting because I have my graveyard out day and night from Oct. 1.

Very nice work on the stones, you seem to have a nack for this.They will look great on the night of nights.

Terra, watched your Youtube tombstone video 3 times before I worked on these. Thank you very much for sharing your techniques for us all to use.

Excellent design and awesome paint job!
