It's taken a while but finally I am ready to practice my weathering skills.
Before I actually apply these techniques to my Diary I wanted to perfect my skills on some test pages first. Here's one of those examples.
I’m using Potassium Permanganate and trying to emulate the techniques used by Keir Lusby. Generally, I am applying the solution in layers and waiting for it to dry in between applying. This allows the paper to dry inbetween coats and stops the different layers from bleeding too much.
First coat - is the base coat and is a very light solution.
Second coat - is a darker layer for areas that need just a little more shade and colour
Third coat - is the detail part of the process. Using a fine brush and applying the spots and other finer detail.
I'd be keen to hear how you all do your weathering and show some examples :TOH:
