For a long time I call my eyes here this glass dispenser for soap. Agree, in the interior, well, no way fits.
I specifically sfotkal a large piece of walls and mirrors to show what colors picked up on this surface. You can use those that are more suitable for your interior, feel free to experiment. The stone can be different, both black, and gray, and brown, and brown-violet. I think even if you try to imitate bright stones in such a way, it will also work well)
So, we take suitable acrylic paints. I took a brown (added to it beige), color of coffee with milk, fused milk and some kind of yellowish.
I want to immediately say that the paints will need very little, here on the "palette" shown once a five more needed count.
A soft round brush is applied by the colors, not afraid to mix them. If you want to get a sharp border of the color (as in the upper left corner, shown with a red arrow), then give the lower layer to dry.
In general, it is better to apply paints at the still low previous one. You will be surprised at how much these chaotic putty strokes will immediately become like a stone)
We get something like this. Where some place I do not like - you can shine from above with other paints. The "stone" will not become worse) cover with varnish.
If you wish to imitate polished stone, then cover the glossy varnish in several layers and blocked before smoothness. I did not need it, so I covered the matte and did not have to swee.
If you wish, you can simulate the subtle streaks on our stone. If you draw well - you can make them a thin tassel.
For do not eat another method: with water (or water mixed with a medium), we spend a thin groove on the surface of a stone and dripped into it with water diluted paint.
And then through the usual tube for a cocktail we inflate our klyaks to complete thinning of the lines.
Often, with this method, part of the blots remains if it is uncompatible, you can just smear it.
Here, actually, and that's it. Quickening (for imitating polished stone I recommend glass-like varnish) and attach to the interior)
Perhaps your fantasy will tell you something else - make metal paint along the grunge "Golden veins", on a damp paint to apply a crumpled package for an interesting mixing of paints ITP.
Fantasy suggested to me to make some small points with vitre varnish (remind you, the dispenser itself is covered with matte), it is not visible in the photo, but in fact they turned out the spotlights, as if there are tiny crystals.
The spouse has long asked to paint the remote control for the air conditioner in the color of the walls in the kitchen, and, since the paint from working with the dispenser I remained, I and the remote control))
