Tonight's project: the lazy lawn

[modernwizard]

Angelie shows off my realistic lawn. Realistically, it's in a half-dead state, in desperate need of some water. I achieved this effect by using an Ikea Trampa doormat with brown grass-like fibers as the base. Then I applied Liquitex acrylic paint (Light Green Permanent) very sloppily with a foam brush. The result looks much greener in some areas than others, just like a real lawn. Angelie shows off the effect.

That looks so good. I like the brighter green areas; it's like they just went out with the Weed N Feed. :)

Thanks for sharing the altering tips that will make the lawn look more realistic.
