Awesome... Roc, my friend....impresive figure. My little child (only three years) said about it "Es muy bonito" (It is very pretty). Usually he don't say that about my figures...Sniff! Sniff! :-(

Please share with me your groundwork (this is one of my main problems when I try to complete my figures).


Adios ,

Rafa

Rafael,my dear friend,you are too kind, I do appreciate your support.

Your son is very cute, give him a hug for me.


1- Apllied a mixture of celluclay Mixed with water and Elmores glue to an oatmeal cosistency to wich I addel some acrylic raw umber to tint it.

2- While the Celluclay is still wet I sprinkled some grind up kiddy litter combined with sand over the entire terrain.

3- Placed little pebbles and rocks here and there.

4- For grass I used cat hair.{my cat was not very happy with that} :lol:

5- When dry I brushed acrylic burnt umber over the entire ground work.

6- Using a flat brush, I dry brushed acrylic tan mixed with a little burnt umber over the entire terrain.

7- medium highlight = Acrylic tan dry brushed.

8 - lighter highlights =Tan + white dry brushed.

9 -Extreme highlights = Lighter highlight + more white.

10 - When completely dry I gave the entire terraine a wash of acrylic burnt umber to tie it all together.


Now here comes the fun part:

To give the terraine a dusty appearance, I scraped some raw umber pastel and srinkled it on .
Than I sprinkled some raw sienna pastel, and fo extreme highlights I sprinkeld a mixture of raw sienna pastel +white pastel.

The stones for the Via Appia were individually made out of A+B putty.

I hope this helps.

Ciao,

Roc.

Thanks a lot again.
