Well the process I wrote pretty much explains it. You can use whatever colors you like after the first step of appying the joint compound. I used just a mix of the orange , yellow ochre and greens sort of sporatic like an abstract painting and then when that dried I applied more joing compount and lifted it off when semi dry(as explained above) and then put other colors like browms..you can keep doing this and use as many layers until you get the desired look you want. yes the last technique is the same only using more weathered crackle. Hope this was of some help..if you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. If you are not getting the look you want I could do it for you. Hi Elizabeth,

From the first pic, can you tell me which was base color, then color applied next, etc. Trying to determine from the colors I'm using, which will show the most and if is according to the order in which applied. And curious from last pic if the same technique was used just heavier with crackle glaze? Thanks. Hi Emilia,
