Default Antiquing carved golf balls?
Has anyone got a method for antiquing golf ball carvings that are painted with acrylics to bring out highlites.
For example I would like to highlite Santas beard.
Thanks in advance
Doug

I would say a wash would do it. Dip your brush in black then put it in little bit of water then brush it on. It's kinda like brushing dirty water over it.
