I looked for something that gave the impression of cliffs and crags. I then chose fo accent the birds with paint. There are some birds and mammals for whom color is part of our identification process, and pLffins are one of these. Although some of you do not consider yourselves painters, this project may be u good place to start. A wash, or diluted mix cf paint and water, was used 1o paint this project. Because a wash goes on very thin, it allows some of the wood grain to show through and gives a very subdued cffcct. It leaves just a hint or color and blends well with nct-ural woods. Raw wood absorbs water, allowing little time to "work" with the paint, so spray one coat of the clear firish on ttie project before painting. Ibis provides additional working tirnc. Each color of paint is mixed at aboul one part color to five parts water, plus a little burnt umber. Burnt umber added ir- small amounts to any color tones down the brilliance and gives it more of a natural hue. After filling the brush with paint, wipe it on a rag until the brush is almost dry.
