This works great, looks natural, and is forgiving. Thanks.

[@jcwdigger]

[@tracewisecarver4260]

@@jcwdigger the two colors i see online are burnt umber and burnt sienna. Is sienna lighter?

[@jcwdigger]

Yes its lighter but I always start with raw umber

@@jcwdigger So i used raw umber paint from pinch back reproductions. Saw a guy use it on youtube and color looked really good. I used a big brush and painted it on my antlers and it was way to dark. i was wiping off with a paper towel and it would basically wipe everything off. These antlers i had to use apoxie sculpt to repair so if you wipe away you can really tell it’s apoxie. Maybe i need to try using a different brush and rag?

[@jcwdigger]

Use a wet rag and wipe it off but were the opxie is you will have to use a bone color base and blend it in

I could of done that bad of a job with a bottle of shoe polish.
