  1. Excellent techniques in each layer with the variety of colors. Your dry brushing was spot on for locations as they are mostly for the outside areas that catches sunlight sometime throughout the day. Question: you mentioned at the end of the video sealing it up with Scenic Cement… is that needed for paint or would that be after adding ground vegetation in remote spots of the canyon? Great video!

  2. You have a very nice brush technique, Kent. The rocks are beginning to look like rocks rather than carved plaster/sculptamold.
