Just finished for today, midnight. Really tried to get as much of the background done as I could. I definately made the right decision not to go darker with the green of the grass. The ground is quite light and the lighter grass helps, makes the buildings show up more. My concern is the ground colour is too close to the white of the road!
But basically I will have to live with that. The roads a very bold, wide and straight and will hold their own as I am relying on them to 'hold it all together'.
See with painting its so easy just mix the colours to the one you need, or if you get it wrong, …repaint….simple.
I really know from todays work just how slow these buildings will be. The impact of this is a controlled resolve to absorb the news and keep it steady as if it was insignificant.
The good news is it will look fab. The house I did looks great and bodes well for the long terraces to come.
Tommorrow I will do a little bit of cement casting. Sounds good but only small flat squares. I hope they dont snap too easy… only 12mm thick! see what happens.
today's picture is how much of the mosaic I had completed before I started this blog.
