Board Project 2 - Painting roads (part 1)

   Onwards with the terrain board making!
Today it was painting roads, three coats today and I think they will be finished tommorow (possible everything else as well.

   In terms of painting, I basically drybrush a series of coats onto a black base - finishing with a series of very pale highlights.

  To begin with I sprayed the filler on the roads black, with paint from a spray can. It is a really good base for the rest of the paint (I really like black base coats they fill in the crevices and create shadow effects where you can't get your brush).

   Next I added a coat of burnt umber pretty much everywhere, when it dries it looks very black anyway.
   The last coat for today was some raw sienna - the first one that really brings out the texture of the filler. I applied it as a moderately wet dry brush layer. It dries to a very dark shade as well, and further coats are applied over it so I was pretty careless with applying this coat, caution comes later.
  And that was it for today. I hope to add another update tomorrow.
