I made a video of this painting step and the rest of the painting steps at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FibTZIYrN7k
Painting dark crevices and epitaph: Using a small brush and dark gray exterior paint, paint the inside of the epitaph. Using a larger brush paint the crevices but also feather out to the edges.
Next: Detail aging painting. I also call this 'tea-staining'. Water down your dark gray exterior paint. Then roughly drip it down the tombstone and help brush it down. Do it over and over again until you like the look. You are trying to make it look like this stone has been in the weather forever.
