Painting Acrylic, A Review of Sorts

June 27, 2011

Amazing Miniatures Post I tried painting acrylic before, but it just didn’t look right (not without a bunch of work). But I got tipped off on an easier method from the Shopping Sherpa when she painted her powder blue Panton chair black.

Amazing Minis in May Etsy Treasuries
