    Hon just a suggestion from a painter. Dip the end of round brush in paint and dot off on paper then dot your eye in, it’s perfect every time.

    I have been searching for a swan forever and finally found a wood one with the same glass eyes. Still trying to work up the nerve to paint it white! Love the pig too

    • @burghbrat3319
      @burghbrat3319 Год назад +1

      RE: the eyes, use a really small brush and a very little bit of paint, then pull the strokes out from the eye into the body. It's a bit intimidating but not actually that difficult. I'm probably the world's most clumsy painter but I've had pretty good luck using that technique.

    I can't pass up animals in a thrift store, either. I recently made over 2 bunnies and put them out in the garden and I think the REAL bunnies living under our patio took that as permission to munch the plants! I can't even be mad, they're too cute and so much fun to watch.

  • @lisasmart1929
    @lisasmart1929 Год назад +1

    Use the bottom of your paint brush you were using to try for the eyes….dip the end into paint and use it for a perfect dot for the eye….
    The bigger craft paint brush has a bigger dot area….smaller brush has smaller dot area….
