Step 1

Lightly sketch the Moon’s outline with a pencil.

Step 3

Add the paste in small patches, creating raised areas—future craters. It’s best to make a few larger zones and then add smaller ones around them.

Step 2

Apply the texture paste to the surface using a palette knife.

Step 4

Gently blend the edges with the palette knife so the texture transitions smoothly from one area to another. Don’t aim for perfect smoothness—the Moon’s surface is uneven.
