Painting fake background

[Dutchy88]

I'm on the painting stage of my fake background but I've got no artistic bones in my body has anyone got any good links on painting them. I know about dry brushing and ive heard people using spray bottles but I'm unsure of where to start i think ill put a base coat down first but then what do I do?? Any help appreciated

No just finished rendering today and I need to give it a few days to dry as this coat is quite thick. Besides my wife is doing the painting side of things so she'll start that next week I think.

Kath and I agreed on what we are trying for and she used to do good work when we did our minatures and scenery for Warhammer 40k so I know she'll do a great job.
