What a difference a day makes
I primed with a quality acrylic primer using an airbrush then left it for 24 hours to cure. With only a few weeks left, I knew I needed a quick way to paint the entire piece. I turned to sponges, a small one for maximum texture, and cheap acrylic craft paint, the poor coverage allows colour of previous layers to bleed through plus its a large area to cover.
I began by splattering a random mix of brown, blue, and yellow across the whole surface, then brushed white onto the rock faces and brown onto the wood. For the rock, I increasingly focused on the edges with each successive layer to create gradients. The gloss of the cheap paint looks rough on the wood; I think this will be fixed with varnish, but it probably needs more work.
At this stage I’m not worried about accuracy. If a colour spills onto another surface, I blend it back in. I find the colour transition is almost imperceptible but gives the objects a grounded feel, emulating reflected light.
After the weeks of work building up the details the transformation over a few hours with some paint was very satisfying. With some strategic lighting, the final character is beginning to emerge. I took a few shots with some minis I had to hand.
