Читать книгу Beginner's Guide to Painting on Wood - Betty Padden - Страница 6

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced carver, it is imperative to learn how to paint. As we all know, a poor paint job leaves much to be desired—even on the best carves.

This booklet walks you through four seasonal projects utilizing four painting styles. I’ve included patterns in the back if you’d like to carve your own plaques, although the painting techniques described can be applied to any carve. You will learn about blending, highlights, shadows, and more. As you read along, you’ll discover the painting process is nothing to fear. With a little patience and practice, you may even enjoy it as much as carving. For each article, one “pea” refers to a pea-sized drop of paint.
