Fenster's Farm Fresh - Build Callenge 2016

[Polux]

Thank you very much for your comments guys!
I will try to post a complete under construction thread describing the entire step by step...

Finally I started the Build Challenge....


The first work...clean and sand the clapboards on this part of the building.


I added some damage using this tool and sanded with a very fine sand paper (4000).


A pre shade. I used drawing ink (Sepia).

A second colour, the nut brown.


The last one is a thinned green.


Once dried I added a black wash. Using inks as well.


The last coat is a mix of acrylics. In fact is another wash too.


The last step is a pin wash. Is a really tedious work ....but the difference is visible and add more volume and shadows at the walls. 


I should say that the difference of colours and tones are more subtle on live view. The camera show them so much.....or I shot incorrectly
Now I have the wall ready to add the white colour!! Maybe tomorrow if the work allows me.....

Thanks for looking

Polux,

Nice job on the wall staining. Looks very good to me. Nice and weather/sun beaten.

Wow!  I really like the effect that you achieved using all of those different washes.  I'll have to give that a try on one of my next builds.  Keep up the great work and the photos.

[Polux]

Hi Polux:

Wow!!!! Those walls really came out well. I really like the finished look of the walls. I will surely be following along.

Polux,

The walls look great the way they are. I am not really sure about painting them white.
