First layer down and picked up

Here is a shot of the first layer down. The grass is a little greener than I had wanted, but nothing a little airbrush work can't fix.

Note the random collection of the grass. It's not just a flat base down, keep it random. Real grass doesn't act this way, so why should our layouts?

  • Start with the Base
  • After the base has dried, I start to work the first layer of static grass.  To do this I will apply full strength Matte Medium.  Using an old, smaller sized brush, I stipple around the scenery putting glue where I think it will represent the best for the scene.
