Painting the Pillars and Walls

 For the pillars and walls I used acrylic paint to create a stone effect with added weathering, using a mixture of paintbrushes and sponges.  

As you can see from the photos above I also added some brown paint in between the stones, which is a base coat for underneath soil which I will add later, giving it more depth and making it more believable that it is an old dry stone wall with earth within.
