Hi everyone :) Today I’m going to talk through the work I did on this fountain, which is from the Reaper Bones Kickstarter 4, focussing on the water effect and the leaves. Given the state of the stonework and the statue, I decided that it didn’t make much sense for it to look like it was in good condition. I painted the tarnish effect on the spout of the fountain and the moss or mould on the stonework, and having done that I didn’t want the water to look clean.
I’ve found that there’s a bit of a knack to getting good, clean leaf shapes from it, but once you do it gives a really nice effect. I actually punched the shapes out of real leaves as well, so there’s no added cost there (even if it takes you a few tries). It’s a bit of a niche item, and I’m not suggesting that every miniature painter needs a leaf cutter, but if you’re interested in including leaves in your work you could do much worse than picking one of these up.
