Initial Drawing using a Projection of the design.
Laid out flat colors and used soft foam to create mosaic stamps to go on top.
Made a wash of the colors to go on top to re surface the design, then using a rag to buff out and distress some areas. Then in the middle, we did a scumbling of a variety of browns and then splattered the same variety on top.
Wood stained a middle ring with a brush.
Flat color of the "gold" design.
The floor was moved to the actual space, and next it was washed with a light brown. Then we drew out wood paneling coming from the sides to the middle with paint marker. After that, we used a variety of wood stain and painted in the panels. Then, it was sealed.

The pillars before painting.
First we brushed on the paint for the rubble.
Added creme and a little highlight.
Next was to sponge on the cremes for the pillar with a variety of shades.
Finally, we used a small sponge to add "dirt" to the ridges of the column. It was then sealed.
