Generally, I use up to five colors when doing scenery. The first few are always shades of the same color starting with the darkest shade first, then dry brushing on the remaining colors in succeedingly lighter tones. The last color is always white applied with a very dry brush (that is to say, nearly all the paint wiped off on a piece of craft paper, paper bag, or newspaper - whatever's available - before applying the paint. This time however, as I didn't have a full compliment of colors available, I went with what I had: dark gray, medium gray, white.. The dark gray is the cover coat and it took a few passes to get all the little nooks-&-cranny's filled in.
