@@dolfinmagikpro I said that both because your work on these bricks is really nice and because I find it so frustrating that people build these beautiful miniatures and then paint them brown with almost no attention to all the nuances of detail. It takes a bit of time to do a nice paint job, but it is so worth it, as your walls show here. PS I also follow Black Magic Craft, who does foam work and DOES paint his miniatures carefully, albeit a bit too much dark stone. But that is the gamer look. Nice guy also.

I was searching for how to put on embossed brick paper for my dollhouse instead of siding and this popped up. Holy bananas. This is fantastic and I am going to do your technique instead. Sometimes the stars align!

If you want more texture (say if you need a worn over time or made out of grey stone look) find a nice big rock with a few sharper points and bumps. Then beat the tar out of your foam core (carefully). I find it works best after making your lines but before painting. You may have to do a second pass at some of your lines, but it looks awesome.

with the dry brushing, try almost laying the brush flat. Like hold it almost horizontal to the piece. Then drag it across very lightly. Dry brushing was hell for me to learn, too. For many of us, it's not as easy as people make it look. I didn't get it until I saw a tutorial from a woman doing it for furniture and she's the only one who I've found that shared that trick. I learned it for big things first and that might be an easier transition for you as well. Good luck. Once you master it, you'll find that it's a skill worth having.

Thank you for the suggestions and advice! I think the problem I was having in this video was that I was using a really thick, "plastic" bristled brush. I should have used a natural hair brush. I have (since making this video) learned how to dry brush. And yes, it is a wonderful skill to learn! Thank you again! 😊😊

You can get one yourself off Craigslist or Letgo or one of those other sites fairly cheap. I have seen many a bandsaw go for $25 to $45 for a good model. I personally recommend a scroll saw though. It's a more flexible tool.

You did really good :) when it comes to dry brushing, it´s best to have a stiff brush and very, very, VERY little paint on it :) you can always dab off most of the paint on a tissue before going in to dry brush :) just a friendly tip :)

Oh Great! I love a mini brick wall! You are being very self critical. I am hopeless at dry brushing but you're getting the effect of many different shades in the brick wall which is what is required. I think you're doing a great job don't get hung up on technique because it's results that matter in miniatures and you certainly get results from what I have seen. I found you through Ara Bentley who is wonderful! I have been stalking through your videos...not as sinister as it sounds and got some great tips! I see you watch Heather Tracy too...all my favourite channels! Like the music btw!

I watched a video where the guy put the foam board in the shower and ran hot water over it and then peeled the paper off easy. I just tried it and it works great! It doesn’t ruin the foam at all. Thought I’d share.
