nah, it wouldnt be too expensive, i've seen little samples of woodstain for just a few bucks at any art store, it doesnt take much. That is a great idea though! i will definitley keep that in mind for the next couple pieces i'll be working on!

Use different colors of woodstain on the background

 

I deal with alot of different woodworking things. Stain would not be as good as wood dye. Stain is more readily available, but wood dye is not hard to get and is alot easier to use, since it is water based. I would then sand with 320 and spray some poly on it after to make it pop, with a coat of wax after it all.

Thats sick Weasel. Always wanted to give that a try, can you recommend a brush for outlining with acrylics?

 

i usually use a size 00 or 000 size brush for the outline. One thing ive learned about outlining with a brush is that it helps to have a more fluid paint. I used Golden fluid acylics, because they are still opaque enough to cover in one line, and they are much more fluid than regular acrylics. I also use a certain product ( some sort of gel medium) that i mix with regular acrylics, that makes them more fluid, and stay wet longer if your blending. it works well, but not quite as good as the golden fluid acrylics...
