Would you care to share your painting techinques for these!?
agree with ninja! I'm interested in your painting techniques!
I love your result, the pegasus piece is awesome, and you obtained a wonderful result!
Of course. I am glad you like them.
Its quite simple really, mostly just drybrushing.
A LOT of drybrushing!
For buildings of this size I use a huge cheap stiff-bristled brush.
I guess a standard large brush would do, but as this brush cost next to nothing and it is pretty tough I have persisted with it
First, everything is painted in Burnt Umber acrylic craft paint. Again, this is because it is cheap. It would cost a fortune to coat something of this size in Vallejo or GW paints.
The stone areas have been progressively drybrushed with the following stages;
1.Burnt Umber craft paint and GW Tau Sept Ochre 1:1
2.Tau Sept Ochre.
3.Tau Sept Ochre and GW Iyanden Darksun 1:1
4. Iyanden Darksun.
5, Iyanden Darksun and Vallejo Foundation White 1:1
6. Final drybrush of Foundation White.
The main thing is to make the layers as gradual as possible. The first layer of drybrushing is done quite heavily to brighten up the model to achieve a lighter effect, but after this initial drybrush try to keep it gradual and be patient. It may seem tedious but I find it is worth it.
This takes a long time, but I usually do these stages while watching TV to avoid going stir-crazy!
(The other, smaller sections of the church that I have,not posted yet were done with less layers and it shows! They appear much lighter, and not as good IMO).
Once the drybrushing is complete I then added various GW washes for weathering.
For this building and colour scheme I used Thraka Green, Ogryn Flesh and tied them together with watered down Badab Black.
I find, when doing the washes, that a few thin layers is much better than one thick.
The washes tend to flow downwards quite nicely and are then drawn back upwards when they pool to create the rising damp effect.
The floors are simply painted Burnt Umber and then drybrushed Foundation White with a stippling motion.
The wood is painted Burnt Umber at the same time as the stonework, but only received the first two layers of drybrushing.
Then liberally washed with all the brownish shades from the GW wash range, with Sepia being the predominant colour. The others used mainly to create a little variation. More variation was used on the walkways and the three levels on the main wall scaffolding to give the impression of wood scavenged from a variety of sources.
The window frames were then given a couple of washes of Ogryn flesh to seperate them from the stone walls.
Finally they are finished off with sand, gravel, static grass on the bases and Woodland Scenic Underbrush for the vines.
A few posters added and the metal areas (lanterns etc.) painted with Black wash.
That is pretty much it.
I used the same process to paint the graveyard for the church in this thread;
