Kalimba




I made a Kalimba as a gift for Christmas. I really enjoyed painting it. If you would like to see and read about the build, click here.

One part of the Kalimba was the picture inside. I sprayed the wood with gray primer and white paint. I marked the wood so I would know where to put the picture under the sound hole.

I really like how the grain showed up in a few of the places after I painted the wood white. Gave me some ideas of painting a winter scene. I will keep my eye out for any other wood that shows that it would.

You can see the grain better in this picture.
It wold make for a nice winter scene.







Obviously I'm a real beginner at painting. Ive spent more time drawing than anything. During this project I learned that you can take the brush, and go over where I wanted the highlights. I look forward to learning more of these types of things when painting.
