Tudor Cottage
I was having a hard time deciding what to do for the first floor of Tudor Cottage. Kelly (Kellyannmo) encouraged me to do a slate floor which is authentic in Tudors. I want the front door to be a working door, so I can't have anything very thick on the floor surface. Then I got an idea based on a technique Brae (Otterine) used for her Brownstone.
After a quick experiment to see if it would work, here's what I did.
I gathered a few paint swatches in five different colors that looked like slate to me and were close in color. When I think of slate I think of flat gray tones with swirls and ridges in the surface. I then coated the paint swatches with a thin layer of matte gel medium. I used the brush to do different patterns of swirls and streaks in the medium.
