Stone Wall

For the stone wall I decided to try using very small stones to replicate the large ones seen in the image. Firstly, I mixed polyfilla with grey paint to get a cement like substance and painted it onto some styrofoam that I had shaped to match the wall. I then pressed each stone into the polyfilla to try and achieve a realistic look. Finally, I went over it all with a dark wash to try and bring out the highlights.

I was not entirely pleased with the overall outcome and I am still undecided whether I will use it in my final piece. I plan to test some different methods first and see which one I am most pleased with.
