This is a little bench chair or pew. It is carved out of foam board and then I chamfered the edges with a flat metal file. Foam board won't take paint, so I gave it two coats of gesso and sanded it again before painting it with blue gouache. Then I sanded it on the edges for ageing and dry-brushed on some brown acrylic.
I think I might have said before - I know nothing about art! I have no experience of paint and i don't know the difference between them. When I look at the beautiful paint effects on other blogs, I realise that this is a key skill in making our minis fab, so I have started experimenting with different paints. I loved the gouache here - it goes on so thick and gives really good coverage. I like the matte finish on it too, and the fact that it's a bit textured (or maybe that's just the gesso coming through?).
