Hi all,
I'm looking for some help with using crackle paint for basing. I'm trying to go for a dried river bed effect, but the cracks I keep getting are huge, rather than a uniform many cracks.
The technique I have been doing is: prime, paint the base with a single coat of brown, apply a layer of PVA glue (white Elmer's glue), dry overnight, apply a medium layer (1.5mm - 2mm) of Golden Crackle Paste which has been mixed with brown and black GW paint, dry overnight.
You can see the results in the images I've attached. I'd love any tips or tricks on how to get smaller, denser, more uniform cracks.
Thanks!
