Right I'm just about to start.........................
Colin's 1st 
Gonna do his in 3 sections because the canvases are quite big - 12" x 36".
Colin's is cream, blue and a touch of brown to match his colour scheme

Here's some pics, had a few problems. I was using the creche at my work and the room was really hot. The plaster was setting far too quickly so I ended up mixing it with some of the paint. Seemed to do the trick. I've applied the plaster/paint mix to give me the texture. I'm waiting on it drying then I'll get the paint on. It doesn't look much just now, but will be fine once I get them painted 
Getting everything together to start 

Mixing the plaster!!


Problems with the plaster.....it set brick hard in about 30 seconds 

Plaster/paint applied to give texture. Doesn't look much just now, but wait till you see it once I get it painted tomorrow 
Will need to wait till it has completely dried out before I can paint it 



It's going to be Cream, Brown and a touch of Blue
