    finished painting the puffin.
    ben messing about with inks trying to get the colour right for the puffin as trying to stain he wood as would like to keep the grain showing much prefer the natural look. Acrylics seem a little harsh and bright but ended up using them

    Without bothering to find Puffin pictures for reference, I like the acrylics.
    My head tells me that there's a characteristic brightness to their appearance.
    East coast bird in Canada, nothing like them in the PacNW.
