Faux Stone Painting Techniques

[Zombie-F]

Since I plan on making my own tombstones this year as well as building a mausoleum, I need to learn some techniques for giving these items a faux stone paint job. Does anyone who checks these forums have any tips or links to good how-tos for this sort of thing? :confused:

I don't know any painting techniques, but there are stone textured spray paints available at most hardware or craft stores. I hope this helps

You may have already run across this site, but I learned about layering and dry brushing techniques from the Moonlit Project (http://www.horrorseek.com/halloween/juggernaut/projects.html) site. Here (http://www.horrorseek.com/halloween/juggernaut/spkr20.html) he paints a foam "rock". There's also projects for columns, tombstones and boards.

Have you checked Keeba's site? I learned my favorite tombstone aging and painting techniques there. Here's the link: http://www.hedstorm.net/HAUNT/instructions/tombstones/warping.html

Keeba's site is great. The detail on their stones is fantastic.
