Have you tried to color a balsa wood before? In this article,I
will introduce the basic ways during coloring. It is indeed an interesting
matter for us to do at the free time. With the suggested steps,you are more
likely to be informed and understand. It is easy for you after you read the
text.
Firstly,you should prepare the necessary materials followed. Such as acrylic
paint, brushes,which is sized according to your project. Then you will need a
container for water and a paint tray. This is a great chance to use recycled
items such as the lid to a plastic container as seen in the photos. Next is the
wood project which is ready to be color stained. And a blotting cloth is also
required. When you prepared these tools,you can go on the first step.
You can start with water. That is adding enough water to more than cover the
area you wish to stain. If the finished color does not come out as dark as you
would like you can always add a second coat to darken the color when the first
coat dries. And then mixing color stains. Colors can be mixed directly in the
paint tray. This is a good way to conserve on paint if you understand color
mixing and the basics of a color wheel. When all of the colors are added at
about the same time,which are wet or damp,you can get the colors and the result
as you designed. It might be that you prefer to have control of the color stain
and want to place it in exact locations on your project. If that is the case,
make sure the stain is dry.
when you understand the above steps,you should practice your technique for
many times. You can add wonderful flare with this basic technique. With a bit of
practice you can blend and mix colors on wood and allow the wood grain to show
through with great satisfaction for the end result. different woods have
different grains. Some wood is harder to stain than others. This is where
practice makes perfect for your next color stained wood project. Experiment and
have fun crafting.If you want to know more about balsa wood, you can visit our
