The problem with that derelict house is that no offcumden hasn’t come in and restored it to its former glory (and added a conservatory). I wouldn’t mind living there. 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 There was plans many years ago to renovate the property but the owner, Count de Monet, felt it was to much of a recognised landmark for passing followers that is has remained the same. I could consider it as my next project and have it demolished to build a crate off loading facility. I feel there appears to be a need for one in the area!!! 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KNP Posted March 28, 2020 Author Share Posted March 28, 2020 I sometimes don't know how I do it myself. Start with the Lifecolor Weathered Wood, build up layers with various shades, some no more than washes. One well known technique is licking the brush to dilute the paint, wet the surface or move the paint around...….true. More than once I have come downstairs and my wife has laughed and said 'painting your lips again!!!' I'll give it some thought.... 2 2 2 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
