On Sunday, I rendered the outer walls and buildings with a thin layer of Coarse Sand texture paste. On Monday, I gave all surfaces a first coat of paint – white gesso on the walls, dark brown on the roofs and light grey on the stonework.
The whole thing is starting to look quite good but there are a lot of details that need adding. I have spent about 12 hours building and painting the project so far.
Over the next week or two, I will work on doors, windows, roof woodwork etc and a simple interior for the church.
