Thread: Painting 3D stone wall

Tweet

So I decided this year I wanted to cover my house with stone. Here is what I am planning.



I couldn't find a tutorial here on painting, stone so I thought I would post my process. This is what I have done so far.



My first step was to go down to my local fabric store and buy about 20 yards of 120 in muslin. I then laid out a small section and painted it with flat black acrylic latex. I then painted with flat gray the basic shape of the stones.



Once dry, i mixed some flat black with water and started to add the shading.



Before it dried a use a paper towel and blend upward into the gray area.



I continue to blend until it reaches a look I am content with.



One down, 10,000 more to go.



After a couple of hours, I end up with this. Ill need to go back in an blend more to make all the rocks consistent.



My next step is to start on the stone archway. Wish me luck.

awesome work, I wouldn t change anything. Its all good
