My Guide to painting New Thatch, Part 2

May 6, 2024

The next stage is finished in my Tea House and I’ve applied a drybrush of Acrylicos Vallejo Model Colour Iquai Sand. Next the thatching.

The start of adding colour to the thatch and I drybrush Acrylicos Vallejo Model Colour Tan Yellow to start giving it that straw colour.

The next is added using Acrylicos Vallejo Model Colour Beige to add that lovely warm yellow feel to the thatch. Because building up the layers with drybrushing its natural creating that weathered look.

Nearly the finishing stages now and I’ve added a light drybrush of Acrylicos Vallejo Model Colour Pale Sand to give it that sunbaked, bleached look and then a very thin wash of VMC German Camo Dark Green to the bottom edges for that mossy, mouldy loo

The last stage is to wash a thin coat of Acrylicos Vallejo Model Colour Black Grey over the areas of the thatch edges like at the top of the roof where the rain would run and patched on the bottom. I also added a wash of this to bamboo.
