Okay now I want to add something on to the chimney, the right hand side of this chimney, needs a lighter red. So what I'm going to do, since I over painted it with trees in the background, I'm going to scrape off some of the area. But white is too bright, starting to look a little more 3-D though. That's the nice thing. That's what we're trying to achieve. And you have to make sure that, you know, whatever you are scratching into is not wet, or the scratching will not be good. It will not look right. So we're going to put a little permanent rose with this. And the texture didn't hurt us either, it makes the chimney look old. We still need a little more rose to do this. And we need to touch up the other chimney, it needs to go a little darker at the top. A little browner at the top too.
