Default Re: 3ft Santa (Member Inspired)

Just an update on the giant Santa. I am painting him but it is a very involved paint job. I probably have over 20 hours into it so far and it is far from finished and that is the first coat of paint. I have never worked this hard on a piece in my entire life I sure hope I like it when it is finished. I thank you all on your painting tips and burning tips I have utilized them all and it is working great. Not sure about these washes though how many washes do I need to put on? That will be another 25 hours of painting for two hope it will be enough.
Colin

As Denny Neubrauer says, "I don't like this Furstinking painting".

I am sure Colin, it will look great as all of your carvings do. Great job.
