Thread: Tombstone Painting help - Specific design

Tweet

I'm needing help painting this specific tombstone.

My materials include: magnolia coloured masonery paint, black paint dye..um.. oh yes, gray spray paint.

Normally I can work this out but the attempt to do some highlight and low light work resulted in me just painting most of the thing a dark gray :/

Help!

what about buying the speckeled grey stone paint? http://www.aspenweaver.com/geocache/...fleckpaint.jpg

If you get some exterior white paint and "DRY" brush it over it, it will make an amazing difference. If you don't know what dry brushing is let me know . I'l explain it to you. If you go to my album you can see tombstones I've done with this effect. It really does make a difference. Aonther person's albu, to look at it Terra's. She has alot of tut's on hers. If you need more help let me know. I have become facinated with making tombstones.

O.K., I'm making some tombstones as well, dry brushing is what exactly?

I made a video a while back that shows how I paint my stones including how to drybrush. Hope this helps

YouTube - Painting Halloween tombstones

Going to paint it light gray and try again. I have a dose of stones to do now so hopefully with the video tutorial I'll manage it.

Thanks Terra, I was looking for that video to show them. It's easier when you can see it instead of just tring to tell some one how to do it.
