Friends, In this work we use common Cement, fine Sand, Pigment of color for cement and White Cement.
I learned this to many years behind, through a VHS tape., that he was brought by a friend who came of China! The Chinese artists, who make this work of a wonderful form. I tried to imitate, also I make the Artificial Fountain that reproduces a mountain. In link below I am one of the topics where I make, step by step, this work.

The tree is a Zelkova Nireyaki, and I find that he was cool with the rock.
