I finally managed to write down the recipe for my bases. Most of the colors i use are Vallejo colors. The washes used are from games workshop. The pigments are from Secret weapon miniatures.
At the beginning i normally apply the base color for the rock and the sand. Next i spray the sandy areas. After that i apply the washes to sand and rocks. The last painting steps are dry brushing the rocks and the sand. Last is applying the pigments and the vegetation
