| This dog was my first attempt at carving an animal. I also used a different method for the first time on finishing him. I did not seal after carving, but instead, painted straight to the wood. I named him Conan, which is Scottish for "wee dog". |
| Once again, starting with a blank cut-out. |
| Just about half way completed. |
| With the dog, I painted with an acrylic paint wash. Then finished with boil linseed oil. |
| I like the way colors came out using this method. |
