You must have very fine bristled brushes to be able to get such small detail in there. Thank you for posting your steps and if you ever decided to video the process of you carving... :0D :0D :0DPepperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777217200629685759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375558060490325047.post-53966805925911627702017-01-14T18:45:01.450-08:002017-01-14T18:45:01.450-08:00Hi Josje and thank you.

I do enjoy showing steps and would do it more often but the project, carving- painting- whatever, is usually half way or more finished before I get the idea and realize I should have been photographing the steps! miraclechickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04139533329860294180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375558060490325047.post-26402200359002703502017-01-14T18:41:14.976-08:002017-01-14T18:41:14.976-08:00Muchas gracias Maitefor este dulce comentario!

I am finding that the really fine ones, no matter how much I baby them, will not hold up like the larger ones. But there are a couple different brush cleaners I like in the photo, and good old soap and water. There is also a brush shaper but if a brush loses it's shape I find this stuff does not work. Leaving a brush laying in a container bristles on the bottom is bye-bye brush. Guess how I know haha!miraclechickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04139533329860294180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375558060490325047.post-58362399732777229472017-01-11T17:38:53.475-08:002017-01-11T17:38:53.475-08:00You are very welcome!

I can only imagine he is waiting for whatever he chased in there to come out. ;-)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375558060490325047.post-1448401051749720432017-01-11T11:49:22.142-08:002017-01-11T11:49:22.142-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05626767881036539940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375558060490325047.post-70952959945049129552017-01-11T11:44:57.668-08:002017-01-11T11:44:57.668-08:00Your skills with the paint brush and the oil paint...Your skills with the paint brush and the oil paints are a pleasure to behold! I also appreciate yours showing the steps towards your finished work because it further demonstrates how painting is a skill and a process beyond simply photocopying which is what most of us do. <br />And like Betsy, I learned something in seeing your brushes suspended above the bottom of the cleaner. You would be APPALLED by the cavalier way I treat my brushes, Linda. Perhaps now I shall smarten up and take better care of them- thanks to your timely demonstration. ; P<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375558060490325047.post-17219514212934549742017-01-11T04:58:35.565-08:002017-01-11T04:58:35.565-08:00Hi Linda!

I hope someday to try oil paints instead of just acrylics and I know none of the techniques for handling the materials! Thank you so much for sharing this! Including your wonderful brush holder!!! The painting is beautiful! That little guy is a winner.... don't you wish you "knew" some of these wonderful animals? I have always felt that way about beautiful animal paintings..... Thank you again for sharing these great techniques!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.com
