I thought I would try another colour for the eyes this time,I had to paint them 4or 5 times befor I was mostley satisfied,MAN it must take alot of practice,I have time.I thought it would be neat to make him into a statue,another piece of cedar,about 14 inches by 5.Is oil base paint good to use,and is semi gloss ok for the eyes? chaboinken lennie.

Great looking carving. You're on the right track. I find that the more carvings I do the better I get. It's taken 3 years to get to where I'm happy with the way I am painting.

I use strictly acrylic paint for all of my carvings. I simply don't like to have to use thinner to clean up when I'm done. Another hint is to use a hairdryer to dry the eyes in between colors, much faster. Just don't get carried away with the heat, it'll also take paint off if you get it too hot.
