Roof, Step #1: The next few photos will show a bit of my detailing process. I began by laying a flat block of color with azurite paint. Azurite is another fairly expensive pigment (though nowhere near lapis) and is made from the semi-precious stone. If ground too finely, it loses much of its color—as does its cousin malachite—so my paint ended up looking rather coarse and did not want to spread evenly. Lovely color, though.
