Christmas Santa 2008


Here is a Santa that I just finished painting. I believe that I already posted a copy of this guy without paint. Painting keeps me inside while it's cold, and we only made it up to 28 degrees today. After I painted the eyes white, I coated him with BLO (Boiled Linseed Oil). It makes a great color for the face, which I accented with Delta Barn Red. The rest of the body was painted as a wash so more of the wood grain would come through. I added some details to give it an old world look, and adding the detail is a lot of fun.

Enjoy, and be careful of the splinters.
