I used fine grain sandpaper to completely smooth it out, then worked it over with heavy grain. As for painting, I'm saving up to buy some paint for myself, since a couple of drunken highschoolers trashed the shit out of the campus ceramics room. |

So... what happened? I was going to tell you to layer it acylics and then use sandpaper or some shit to make it look weathered, but I'm sure you figured it out. |

| Supafly345 | There are spraypaints that are textured to do exactly that. Go to your local hardware store, and look for something that won't eat away at your sculpture. | |

| Grislygus | Nope, conte' is clay and graphite. Wouldn't adhere even if you could make a paint out of it. Nice idea, though. | |

Black conte' ? Im not sure if it comes in paint though.. But it would give it the black basalt look. |

...Actually, if I could find someone with a portable sandblaster, I might be able to genuinely weather it. Problem is that it's only bisque fired and might shatter. |

| Grislygus | Yeah, I usually just lightly speckle sculptures with different colors over and over and over until I get what I want. It works with trying a bronze-patina look, but I don't think I can mimick basalt the same way. Probably would end up with an unconvincing greyish-black. | |

looks like oranges, blacks, browns and reds  you could try some technique like yo do when you're a kid where you draw a base color then draw others on top and put black at the top and then scratch it off or something :O might want to test that idea first |

Gris I wish I could help, but truth be told I honestly haven't a clue what you are referring too about 'weathered black basalt'; If you could be a little more specific :/ Very true about shadowing, I did miss calculate also that without seeing the picture up close It is hard to tell being as it probably looks different on my computer. Although in contradiction, I have a couple friends who have no problem's mimicking shadow into a realistic look. I wish I could help ya more, but most likely your own perspective would be the best. :/ |

| Grislygus | I could, but I really want to make a very convincing illusion that it's weathered black basalt. The problem with mimicking shadowing is that it only looks real at a distance. | |

You could always follow the shadow in that picture, possible color maybe copper for the base, with raw umber or sepia for the shadowed parts. It would create a nice tan look.. |

Need Actual Help Okay, so I made this guy.  http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...s/IMG_0240.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...s/IMG_0241.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...s/IMG_0242.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...s/IMG_0243.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n...s/IMG_0244.jpg Only bisque-fired, intend to paint it over with acrylics. I want to make it look like weathered basalt, but I have no clue what I'm doing when it comes to colors, and since this is going into my portfolio, I actually want it to look good. I know a few people round these parts can paint, so if anyone can give me some tips so I can make it look like this I'd appreciate it. |
