Does anyone have a good tutorial on painting terra-cotta tiles on Italian buildings?

Dark brown base coat. Red orange dry brush (heavy). Orange dry brush (light).

Hmmm, I'd go the other way, e.g. orange, or reddish-orange tiles, with dark and medium brown washes, until you like the look.

I use car primer brown, the magic dip, red-orange highlights, and then a little bleached bone for dust.

Thanks guys, I'm going to try out all three. I have 14 buildings to do so I can vary them up a little.
