Painted shingles
Today the clay was dry enough to through the first coat of paint on the shingles. I used a thin wash of watercolours, burnt sienna and black. It's going to be difficult to get paint in to all the cracks and crevices on this roof, I may have to go back with a detail brush and fill them in with black to add a bit of interest to the roof. Overall I'm quite pleased, the roof isn't uniform and yet isn't blotchy either. Once this first coat dries thoroughly and the cracks are tackled, I will put on another wash of a grey which will just hit the tips of the shingles to add some weathering.
