How Do You Paint Faces On Wood Projects?
Many craftsmen enjoy working with wood. Cutting, shaping and sculpting detailed wooden faces is a skill that many seek out. Some enjoy having mantles of family members crafted and placed around the house. Others enjoy personalized walking sticks with a highly detailed face as the handle. No matter what the projects painting these wooden faces can often be challenging. But painting a face can be broken down into a few simple steps that will help anyone paint some basic faces on their wooden projects. Treat your wooden project with a primer. This primer will seal your wood and make it take fewer coats of paint to get that finished look. Apply the base coat to the entire project. The base coat will be whatever the majority of the face will show. For example, if you are painting the face of a person, you will paint the entire project the color of flesh. Apply your first layer of details. Start by painting the white of the eyes. Paint small oval shapes where the eyes should be. Do not worry
