Remember you can thin acrylic paint with water to give you a thinner paint.  This can give you a stain like coverage or go a bit thicker for a overall coverage.  I use a scrape of wood to apply the paint first to see how it covers and then go from there.  Just keep practicing with different techniques you will find what works best for you.

thank you for your tips. I am looking for this kind of replies so i can finally achieve what i am after.   I have been doing exactly what you are suggesting and will continue to try new things as I go along. Thank you so much for your reply

adding paint gives you so many options...your doing fab at it!

I should be continuing my efforts,hopefully this week. I am working on a couple of orders but hope to stay with both. I agree that color makes otherwise somewhat boring projects, or even nicely done project stand out even more.

You are getting this painting thing down!

Thank you for your nice comments. I am just starting to try and understand how to hopefully achieve what i am after, as far as knowledge and ability. I think I can do what I am after with a few more tries.
