I was given a 3D printed model of the Ea-nāsir tablet by @heyspacebuck for my birthday and this afternoon I gave it a little paint job to try and make it look like the real thing
@heyspacebuck This was a coat of gray spray primer, two coats of tan acrylic paint. A wash of a darker brown to emphasize the crevices, a dry brushing with yellow-tan and a dry brushing with white-tan, and finally a dusting with pumice powder

Cool gift & great results! 8- )

My wife learned some dry brush techniques for her ceramic art & I *almost* follow what you describe. %- )

@MLE_online @heyspacebuck Beautiful. Is that life-size?
@jpmantis @MLE_online it's 3/4 scale, assuming the British Museum uploaded a 1:1 replica to their site
