Once all of the foam was set in place and the glue had dried it was time to coat the entire board with textured paint. A few thick layers of grey cemented the ballast in place and reinforced the whole piece. The grit in the paint itself was key to providing a rough texture that really pops out in later steps.
After applying a few coats of the grey paint everything was covered in different browns. From there we started building up to the basic mid-tones most of the board would eventually have. The rocks and dirt were painted by dry-brushing brighter tans and creams, then lightly touched on the edges to bring out some sharper highlights.
Once the rocks and heavy dry brushing parts were finished we filled in the stone paths and bricks in the keep. Although the finished colors reach a grey and tan, the flat primers were loud and very saturated so that when the board is finished there's an amount of variety to the palette.
