Steve, would you be interested in sharing more about how you got that look and tone?  You mentioned the paint used. How 'bout more on your technique? Thanks!

No problem Dave. I used a razor to split some of the clapboards first, then I used a thinned out wash of the Floquil Reefer Gray. I don't mix up the paint in a jar, I thin it by dipping my brush in the paint then into a jar of diosol. I prefer nail holes on most clapboard siding, I think it adds some needed texture to a wall. Just a personal preference. After that is a wash of A&I followed by some off-white dry-brushing. The signs are just sanded down and cut along the clapboards to make them fall into place.

Thanks so much for sharing. That look is excellent. Getting some scrap out to practice on. Thanks again. 👍🏻👍🏻
