  1. A wire brush is good to bring out the grain Rafael. Work with the grain NOT against it.

  5. Lovely so far Rafael!

    If using acrylics water the paint down like a watercolor glaze to let the wood grain show through. But you probably already know this tip.

    I didn't know there was such a thing as clear gesso, now you gave mE a tip! '-)
