As I would rather not use hobby acrylic paint to cover my Wild West buildings, given their cost, I decided to go the craft paint route and propose below my main formulae. As a bae, all building are spray painted dark brown (I chose one of the dark brown camo paints as I love their mat aspect).

Colors selected for brown town buildings. Use added white to vary tone. Dry-brush all layers on the building, accentuating the weathering wherever it is most exposed to elements.Colors selected for brown town buildings. Use added white to vary tone.

As a wash, I use a home made brown wash which I learned to design thanks to Black Magic Craft – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5U7UFFuX-Q&ab_channel=BlackMagicCraft
