An alternative (if slightly more expensive option) is to use acrylic mediums rather than PVA. That way you can vary the amount of matt/gloss medium to create different types of earth (wet or dry). Also worth adding in a handfull of cheap flocking to give it some vegetable debris texture along with the sand, makes for a more realistic effect.
This is great, I've only recently (in the past few days) had the realisation that I can make mini things - I do a lot of world building but find it hard to visualise my stuff simply through drawing it - so I'm trying to go through all the basics to compile a list and stuff... I'm a broke uni student so anything DIY like this is brilliant (and I live close to an estuary and quite a few beaches within reasonable bus distance, so lots of sand!) Thank you very much
Wow.. nice video... I was just thinking about this today. What paint did you use? It looks like burnt umber , but is it acrylic or oil? Any recommendations or any of the colour tubes will do?
hmm.... this looks good... to bad i already have my own recipe for basing... with wall filler, paint and sand instead of pva but i have to make a small batch of yours and test
