13/6/2019 Day 17- It’s 11 p.m., I’ve got the diorama box in hand, with intent to lay down a solid color for replacing the dull cardboard brown. Initially decided with a white marble paired with black faux finish.
However, that meant that I’d would have to learn and apply basic techniques of creating faux finishes. From the start, the concept of learning the new skill came as a clear challenge.
Decided to test the shade and intensity of the poster color on spare cardboard before using on the diorama box. First trial (left) appears too light, added more poster color to less water a to create the second trial (right). With the deeper shade of white, I started coloring in the diorama box.
With the box’s bases and walls colored in (above) I’d try my hand at painting the faux finishes after viewing some examples and methods online. Despite my efforts, I regrettably had to scrape the idea of using a faux marble design, seeing how creating the simple patterns were easier said than done.
First attempt . 
First, Second, and Third sets of trials. 
While the fourth and fifth trials seemed passable, I had rather resort to the base white finish.
