Front roof painting complete
I painted the roof with a grey and black mixed glaze to match the main roof to the portico roof. I brushed on the glaze and wiped it away in a downward with a paper towel. I then used sandpaper to lift some of the color befor adding another paint wash. Then I did a final sanding. I find doing multiple rounds of paint, washes, glazes and sanding creates a good depth of tone and a more realistic worn appearance. I love the way it's turning out!
I probably won't do the roof ridges on the gable and dormer until I get the back roof on. I'll need to finish off the top flat portion, too. For now, I'll add some moss to the roof and concentrate on the landscaping. Halloween is fast approaching!
