06 bisque. Thin down White and apply over entire piece to get into all detail.

Hyacinth Blue in small areas wiping back for highlights until entire piece is
covered. Dampen a soft cloth with Solvent to wipe back further highlights for
an overall even look to antiquing. Spray with Porcelain Mist to set TL.
Technique
1.
Apply Silver Jubilee Twinkle to cobblestones, doors, window frames and

of the stones with Wedgewood Blue, Brick Red and Light Gray.

Apply Antique Ivory to stucco, top/bottom of pillars, dentil work, center
slats of porch and keystones/roof of dormer windows. Spray. Then apply a thin
coat of Tangelo to these same areas. Lightly wipe back highlights and spray.
When dry, lightly drybrush highlights with Ivory Tusk.

Mix Golden and Holiday Red in your brush to make a brick color. Apply
this mix to front and rear steps and to cutwork. Gently wipe back highlights.
If a pink color appears spray and repeat with a touch more Golden in brush.

up between coats and spray. Use one good coat on other roofs. Lightly drybrush
