On The Waterfront: Spring Clean Challenge
Dry Rub Concrete
All the paint I used I had in stock. Some are sample pots that I got from HomeDepot when we were trying to decide what color to paint our dining room.
To give the center bit of the board a concrete look I started by brushing the groove edges with a dark grey. Making sure to get the paint deep into the grooves.
Next without adding paint to the brush I rubbed the brush around each piece starting from the outside into the center.
I then added Tan to the palette and rubbed Tan and Dark Grey around, sideways on an angle.
I continued to add more tan to the mix each layer.
I then added Lite Grey to the Tan dry mix and did the same stroke technic.
Remember to keep the paint light on the brush. Do the mixing of paint on the board by rubbing in multiple directions.
