Steve D Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Sweet Kev, not every model has to be large and complex, small and simple leaves room for class imho When you're done, can you make a full size version for my garden?

I'm afraid you'll have to supply the granite A small update. I've been playing with colours. A pin wash to break up the slightly monochrome stone. test on bottom right stone and a very light pale grey wash What does the jury think?

JohnWS Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Looks good Kev. Compared to the above rock photo, I'm wondering if the rocks should have darker grey highlights & shadows? John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, nice work. I take it that you've eaten BOTH, to be able to make the comparison. I guess there's no accounting for Martian's tastes. 😫 But seriously, it's looking great, Kev.

Whether I'm able to show the subtle tones with my photography remains to be seen. Hope you like them Painting mainly done with oil paints Time to start adding vegetation ....
