Mark in FL Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Here is a basswood plaque of a boxer. The photos show the process. Hope this shows the relief a little more. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Hoshield Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks Mark .. It's nice being able to see the steps you took. Good carving and great painting! What kinds of paints are you using? Did you put a top coat or clear finish of some sort on it? I think these would look great wood-burned also ... would end up being somewhat sepia tone.

Janel Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thank you for the photos of the process. I am captivated by your thoughtful attention to detail. The subtle transitions from the fur color areas, the liquid eyes and the sparkles of reflected light... Janel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark in FL Posted August 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Thank you Dennis and Janel. I use artist grade acrylic paints. I use regular brushes starting with #8 hog bristles and ending with #00 sables for details. I use 8 colors for almost all my paintings. These are the same color I paint with. Sometimes the painting can take as long as the carving. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
