I think your art is so precious! They are all so unique! I love them! For aging, I do the same, watered down paint. Have a great sunday ;o)
Happy Valentines Day...Becca!
I have 3 snowmen I didn't finish, thanks for reminding me. I love the style of the bunny. I use an umber oil paint that mixes with water. I love it because you don't have to dig out the turp to clean up with. You brush or rub it on, wipe off with a damp cloth, and presto, aged patina.
going to work with it today in fact.
Have a great heart day,

I use water-down brown paint, too. :) I love your new little guys, they are so cute! And I am finishing a snowman that didn't get finished in December. Better late...or maybe I am really early! xox
Thank you Stacy! :)
Hi Pam & Lisa!
Lisa I will have to try that thank you:)
Love them both Becca!
In reference to your question I use a combo of paste waxes by Briwax, a clear mixed with a hint of Tudor brown. Sometimes I have a bit of heavy hand with the brown, but a few more swipes of the clear to cut through and all is a-okay. I use a lint free cloth to buff to a satin sheen - or if you want a gloss you can buff with a piece of nylon hosiery.
Hope this offers you another option. ~ Lori
Thank you Lori I knew you used wax in some form. I love the look you get with your amazing work! I will have try that. I think we have some my husband has used that in the past for his art.:)
I use a classic tea-stain...that works for absorbent materials. I've also heard of artists who bury their work in the ground for a certain number of weeks to obtain that aged look. I just hope they remember where they buried their work! :)
