Weekend Post

Big Weekend update. 

I finally was able to add the last coat for the background colors for the cast. 

Adding layers of splatter and light coats of color gives a great texture. There is a soft dark brown coming from the base and yellow from the top to great a bit of lighting drama. This is ready for the detail paint job that I will hand paint on top. 

I wanted to start working on the back panel. 

I used the original scale drawing and used another piece of paper to create a template. I love light tables. 

I cut out the pattern and used it to outline the design on the wood.

Wood + band saw = sawdust.

After some cutting, sanding and repeating. 2 panels are ready. 

I want the back to be bright, so adding a white base will make the light colors brighter with less coats.

More to come this week.
