After you’ve completed your woodcarving, do you ever feel that the piece seems to be missing something? Decorating your woodcarving with paint can change its entire look and is rather easy to do.

First, sand the carving with sand paper so to remove any rough edges. Be sure to wipe the carving down with a towel to remove any loose pieces. Then, using a medium brush, paint the base colors of the carving and remember to wash the brush out between colors. Add paint to the smaller portions of the carving to add detail and assure that the paint is reaching any time crevices of the carving. Then, consider outlining and creating shadows with black paint and highlight using white paint. Let the carving dry thoroughly and check the area for any needed touch ups. Once you are satisfied with the painting of the carving, be sure to spray the carving with a sealant to keep the paint from flaking away and the wood from warping.

If you haven’t considering painting your woodcarvings, perhaps you will consider doing so on your next creation. Adding a few brush of color to your carving can be just what your carving needs and you’ll enjoy seeing the piece come alive with color!
