INSTRUCTIONS:
1 | Roll your surface with a neutral off white base coat and let dry. Proceed with one coat layered in with your trowel horizontally with Metallic Texture Tint Base Gold. It will appear uneven in terms of light areas and coverage but the lighter base coat telepathing through will give some nuance to your sections. Let dry.

2 | Skim coat Soapstone evenly over the Metallic Textures Tint Base Gold horizontally. Let dry.

3 | For your next step, you can always use stencil mylar, but here I used some drafting vellum because it is slightly thinner and easier to cut, plus you can sketch on it. Lay out and cut your mountainscapes, noting which sections are slated for the lighter Weathered Granite.

4 | Expose the first section to be treated. Next, prepare some Glazing Medium with Slow Dy Fluid Acrylic Raw Umber, not too dark, just enough to give some interest to our gold. Blend horizontally. Let dry.

5 | Cover the areas you just completed once dry, now exposing the areas to be done in Weathered Granite.

Here, I used a rubber blade but any spatula would do to trowel on the Weathered Granite.

While still wet, follow with a teeth tool and drag through horizontally.

Remove the acetate or vellum. Let dry.

6 | Using your same Raw Umber glazing solution from Step 4, add drop shadows and blend under each section.

And lastly, thinning out your umber solution a little more, add and wipe off with a damp cloth so that a little of that same color gets in the creases on your granite sections, tying everything together. Let dry completely.

Here is the finalized texture.

OPTION: I’ve also included another colorway in gray, so that you can see the versatility in tones.
