Danggg I wonder how long it will take for me to veneer my bedroom wall with mini stones

After each step of wash, like the yellows and such do you wipe the excess off then add a different color or each shade let dry?

[@smolworldworkshop]

I don’t wipe off any excess typically because I make sure the colors are very diluted so the effect dries a lot less vibrant than when it is wet.
When I did the overall wash of buff and yellow ochre over all the stones, I let that dry before painting the individual stones. I hope this helps!!

How would I do yellow limestone?

[@smolworldworkshop]

Hi there, I’d stick to using a light tan basecoat, maybe a color like buff. Then, I’d mix that color with white and drybrush the raised texture

[@giorgiodipalma9922]

Too much yellowish

I’ve never seen yellow mortar joints in medieval stone walls. What was your inspiration to do this?

[@smolworldworkshop]

@@randyftz I found my reference online from a medieval building in Dinan, France
