"My name is Kevin Blakeney and on behalf of Expert Village, we are now going to paint your new sculpted level to look like natural rock work. Now that you are done sculpting you are going to want to clean up this mess. All of your Styrofoam pieces. Clear them out of the way and get your nice carving ready to paint. Now I like to use a whole bunch of colors a lot of browns, a lot of blacks. The more colors you mix in the more realistic it is going to look. Look at nature as your inspiration, depending on which area of the country that you live in and what you want ot mimic. You want to chose color from the natural rock work. You are going to want to rub the paint on it. It may take several coats to cover the white base and you are going to want to mix every time. A little bit of brown, a little bit of black, a little deeper coats. You can mix both colors, create a new third and just do a natural rub over this Styrofoam. Now you can image after a few coats how realistic this is going to look. "
