To create this unusual effect you will need Granite paint plus any paint colours you wish to add and a paint brush.

This is an acrylic based clear paint containing small particles that when applied to white or grey concrete gives a sparkling Granite effect. If you wish to colour the Granite paint you should use only a very small amount of colour then mix it in thoroughly.

This paint works most successfully when used in conjunction with other colours. The gargoyle example shown here was created using the following techniques, however this paint can be used in a multitude of ways and it is advised that you experiment with it so its full potential can be achieved.

Paint your Ornament with a layer of Granite paint, the gargoyle example shown here was painted with a mixture of Moss Green paint and Granite paint giving it a more interesting effect.

Once this layer of paint had dried, to give definition to the detail, more Moss Green paint was added into the textured areas such as its ears and eyes.
