First off, a heavy drybrush with Vallejo Game Color Tinny Tin. I have to say, where has this paint been all my life? I can see myself massively overusing this paint: it's a wonderfully dark, moody metallic colour.
Next, lighter drybrush with VGC Brassy Brass.
Now for the fun bit: the verdigris. Then a wash two parts Model Color Turquoise, one part VMC Flat Green, one part VMC Russian Green, lots of parts water. I didn't have nearly enough water, so the 'wash' ended up more like another coat of paint.
That meant I needed to go back and drybrush Tinny Tin and Brassy Brass.You can't really see a whole lot of the verdigris in this picture,but it is there!
Finally, I popped the statue on a plinth from BlueForge Terrain, with a few custom cracks added.
You can see the verdigris here! (You can also see blogger being a pain and refusing to centre my photograph...grrr)
Very nice tutorial!

ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. It's a pretty straightforward technique, but the results are nice.
