Morning all.
Thunderstorms rumbled through this morning, but it's not going to cool us off. Hope to get the garage washed out today.

I'm painting the slate sidewalks:

Yesterday I primed with a neutral grey spray paint. I had problems with the nozzle so it didn't cover well and I got splatters that I wiped off. But that's OK, the irregular coverage is an advantage. Then I grabbed blue and several shades of gray and a 1/4 bristle brush on a yoghurt lid pallets. I mixed some paint, painted a single square, went back and mixed a differet shade, painted the next square, etc. I wanted to cover each square without bleeding into the adjacent squares, and I used a circular/scrubbing motion. Then I went back and added some highlights/shading to down-play those squares that looked a bit too stark. Once the paint is dry, I'll go back and paint the curbs a light grey color for granite, then let dry overnight. Tomorrow I'll add A&I wash to bring out the cracks/joints, and then do some pigments for more texture.
