Picture
I bought an $8 ceramic skull from a store and wanted to age it and make it look more realistic.  I did so by painting the eyes, nose, and jaw areas dark black smearing some by the jaw bones.  Then I worked on the mouth area making the teeth look rotted with yellow, brown, and black paints.  Then once dry I wet painted the rest of the entire skull.  Wet painting is when I mix black paint with water in a spray bottle and sprayed it on the skull.  That allowed all the black to get into the cracks and crevices of the skull.  I then wiped the excess paint/water off with a rag.  I repeated that about 3 times to get the right effect.  To finish the skull, once dried overnight I applied a clear protective coating so it's protected against rain & sun.

Please watch my YouTube video below so you can see the transformation.
