The Citadel Fortified Manor Painting Guide Part II
This is how it looked when I started.
You can find the first part of this guide filed under Oh my, that's a very yellow house.
From Yellow to Crème Caramel
A very simple step. All you need is a lot of wash. I use Vallejo‘s washes for buildings because it is so much cheaper than Citadel’s. On Relish Models it costs approximately 6€. If I would buy seventeen Citadel washes (which would be the same amount as in the big Vallejo wash) it would add up to 60€! GW sure knows how to squeeze the last little pennies out of their minions.
Grab your brush and start washing
It will probably never get more uncomplicated to paint than this. Dip your brush and paint over all the Iyanden Darksun areas. Try to put more wash around window edges for example, but the wash will probably end up in those places anyway. After you‘re done it needs to dry for quite some time. At least if you use Vallejo washes, they take a lot longer to dry than Citadel’s.
The result will look a bit like Crème Caramel …
When it's dry – drybrush
Take out your big ugly looking drybrush and load it up with a sand color. I use Vallejo Iraqui Sand on this building but it will work with any pale sand color.
Remove the excess paint by brushing it off on tissue paper. You will need more paint left on the brush if you compare to how much you would leave on for drybrushing armor on a small miniature. Here we still need some paint to cover a lot of the “Caramel” so don't brush all of it off on the paper.
Drybrush on more and more sand color while doing random motions with your wrist and you will end up with something like this:

I hope to see you back for Part III.
