I'm so happy you provide a way to ask questions. I have started some wood carving. The carvings are in basswood and are sanded to remove the tool marks. Right now I'm working on a tufted titmouse and he's almost ready for paint. Do you think that the paints we are using in this course are satisfactory for painting wood carvings? Do I need to do any prep before I use acrylics? One more bit of information that may be useful. I have not carved to show individual feathers. I plan to paint those on as well. Thank you for your thoughts
