Jay spent the day brushing on a transparent coat of paint (glaze) and then judiciously wiping it off. The key is to work fast and not allow a dry line to form. By carefully edging along crack and joint lines, things are made easier. Jay also left the glaze a little thicker in places to make it look more like rock. When we sculpted the rocks, we used coarse sand, and our sculpting tools left lots of pock marks as we hooked onto the small stones in the mix. The glaze is left in those areas. The next glaze will be darker, and once that is done, we’ll come back with a bright, whitish dry brush to add the highlights. As soon as the paint is complete on the center plinth, we’ll be reattaching the signs, which are also nearing completion. It is going to be exciting to see how the colours all work together. Stay tuned…
