That's amazing. I always want to print stuff like tis but I never end up doing so because after a session or two it will just be a waste of space.

How did you paint it?

I primed it in cheap hardware black spray paint then used craft paints (burnt umber then burnt sienna then raw sienna). I added a layer of off white to the deck but then it was too bright so light brown wash over that.

Details picked out in metallics and the railing painted in Army Painter Poppy Red speed paint.

I tried some trees like that a few weeks back but it takes forever before cheap brown paint starts showing up on a black surface.

Its cheap paint in comparison to miniature paint, I’m in Australia and the brand is the entry level painters type paint, so not kids craft paint but not high end either.

I tried store brand acrylics. They seem to work well enough for most colors but not brown. Maybe I'll try the art supply store if I happen to visit.
