So, this is something of a record for me, I just got this item from The Netherlands about 8 days ago, and I have finished it off, shocking! I did look around on the web for inspiration, and used what I found to colour the earth, and to go with a lighter wall shade. I was determined to add some variety to the crypts rather than just one grey colour, I think that worked. The walls started off as grey primer over the base dark grey colour that the model was cast in. It seemed to look good enough so I kept with it but added a black wash and a sepia wash all followed by a dry brush of craft paint Dove grey.
The statue is a bones miniature that I had just lying around. Not really certain why I ever bought it but I figure it works well enough here. Without some statue that plinth just looks odd. Oh just to remind myself, the earth was done with DecoArt Burnt Umber with a very light dry brush of Delta Ceramcoat Raw sienna.
If I had waited for the Analogue painting challenge this would have netted me 80 points! Oh well I could not wait to paint this. What I really have to do is get back to the horde of partially painted items so as to clear space for new items that I shall start as part of the challenge.
