Slate Effect Painting Tips

​

​

​

​

​

Using a dry stiff stippling brush a very dark grey paint is applied all over the slate work

​

​

​

​

​

​

​

When dry the face of the slate work is lightly sanded this will leave the mortar lines coloured and the face of the slate work slightly stained.

​

The sponge is loaded up with the required slate colour (using a brush) and then the sponge is dabbed over the face of the slate work.

 

​

​

 

​

Other colours are added to the sponge (such as blue) and dabbed randomly over the slate work. We supply and use Revell Matt Acrylic Paint For slate work we use: Mouse Grey mixed with Black for the first coat Stone Grey and Blue for the slate colour
