You will want to add at least some hints of vegetation, I think.
I agree. Although I will be going for a less damp, I still plan to add some ferns and small trees growing from the rocks.
If you want to go an additional step for some added depth, brush on an Indian ink wash.
I was staring some India ink right in the face before leaving the crafts store, lol. I think I need to add a coat of sealant before giving the rocks a final wash in black again. When the wash of black was wet, it had that added depth. When the wash dried, the depth went away. I'm not sure if the Hydrocal was absorbing the top wash or if I need to adjust the ratio of the wash.
Now that I have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing, I need to get out to the area that I am modeling and snap some pictures. So far, I've colored the rocks according to memory. I also need to go buy another jug of Hydrocal, lol.
