Please make a video of you painting one with the focus on the wood slice. I think it would be both educational and a super relaxing watch!

Cool.. I'm new to pyrography.. wanted to know how to add color.. ty..

[@robertsonbrittany17]

Using a clean, wet brush helps lift the paint back out of the burn lines too 🙂

[@WoodBurnCorner]

Very true! Not too wet though. Thank you for the tip!

[@jeannepaglio5582]

I had wondered if the color would bleed past the burned edges, but you answered that question. Thank you for such an interesting video.

How do u seal the watercolor on wood Can you use a seal??

[@melissasaenz4261]

Thanks for sharing this. So do you not prep the wood with anything before adding watercolor paint to the piece?

[@WoodBurnCorner]

You can add isolation coat if you want your color to stay on top fully, but I do not add anything before I started these poppies!

Love the information really excellent. But your “ums” started distracting from your narrative.

[@WoodBurnCorner]

Thank you for your feedback! Will try to work on those 'ums'!

ty for video but too much movement. the videos where they aim camera directly on the work space work nice. its steady and we see what your talking about. it was showing more of you doing the work but not letting us see the work. hope that makes sense.

Love the tips, keep making videos. Work on your "Um"s ;)

[@WoodBurnCorner]

Thank you! ☺

100% useless video. Thanks for the waisting time. I watched until the end hoping you’ll say what finish you can or must add then ( varnish, oil, etc ), but no, nothing. What’s the point of this video ? Next time you’ll say we can use pen, pencil, marker, etc. A 2 years old kid can color wood… but to seal it… only a professional knows.
