yup.. I love painting the PYO’s it’s very stress relieving.. but I really want something new.. I’ve painted way too many of the the other sculpts.. LOL
Hundreds of them!!! 😆 But they are all VERY nice! 😉
thank you.. and yeah.. it’s scary to think how many I’ve painted.. 😮
I keep a damp paper towel handy at all times, so as soon as something drips I can wipe it off. Constant vigilance!
(I also try to finish areas separately, e.g. the Kite Griffin in my gallery — I completely painted, antiqued/shaded, and then gloss varnished his feet, despite his feathers not being finished. The gloss varnish makes it easier to wipe off any drips or runs… and if I went a bit over the edges of the feet onto the feathers when painting them, since they’re NOT sealed I can always paint over that area when I start finishing up the feather job.)
Oh, and I also work with insanely small brushes, which (I guess?) helps minimize accidents — they can really get into tiny areas without brushing up against anything they shouldn’t, they hold less paint so they’re less likely to glob or drip, and if I do streak them across something by accident, at least it’s a narrow streak. 🙂 Possible bonus: people see them and go all, ” O.o You did that entire thing with THOSE? You are crazy. And talented!” 🙂

Do people use masking fluid on painted parts of a PYO? Or are all you guys just REALLY good at not ‘straying’ out of where you are painting?
