Playing with colour

[Dalboy]

Well at last managed to get something off the lathe after the two that exploded and then this one having three attempts at colouring, I finally ended up with something I liked.
The wood I believe is holly and quite plain and it stands 7" tall and 3" at the widest.

The colour on this is stunning. How did you get such a smooth blend.?

When applying the second colour I started in the centre and worked out to the first without applying any more of the paint to the paper towel so that it became thinner at the join between the two

Absolutely stunning piece Derek. The fade between colours is flawless. Well worth all of the effort!

Thank you all. I hope to do some more experimenting with colours. I may just have to dig out my airbrush and play with that, I think I have some cans of air somewhere
