Practical tips for best results

• Prepare a smooth painting surface by wiping away dust, then apply thin, even coats of your chosen finish for consistent color
• Test your color choices on a hidden area or scrap wood before applying to the figure to prevent blotchiness
• Seal with a clear topcoat or satin varnish to protect longevity and keep colors vibrant
• Consider combining multiple finishes—for example, a solid base color with fine-line details using a fine-tipped marker
