Impasse

OK. Now for the magic bit!

first I mixed up three very thin washes with these:



Then splash on the first colour (I used that magnificent brush you've already seen) anywhere you like, regardless of where it runs;



I covered quite a bit as I wanted a fairly light colour overall. I followed with the Burnt Umber, then the black, and ended up with this:



I'm going to wait until this dries and then add a little more black wash (slightly thicker) here and there to create more highlights, then it's on with lots of the green stuff.

Thanks guys. Just a quick, fun build.

For the 'non-ologists', according to the fossil records, these animals never met as they lived something like 80 million years apart.

Back to my little fire engine tomorrow.

Sorry Chris. I completely forgot you had asked.

According to the fossil records, Triceratops was around 155-150 million years ago and Stegosaurus was a newcomer around 68-65 million years ago - give or take a Tuesday!
