driftwood hunting. Only sometimes
the pieces that look 50 pretty lying
on the beach, just look battered
when you them home. This Is q
recommended way TO get that soft
weathered tone.
Bleach with oxalic acid or other
bleaching agent. Apply q thin wash
made Of white lead or zinc oxide
bound with gold size and thinned
to waterlike fluidity with pure tur-
peDtine. Use drop black to give
Che gray tone, warming ii up with
yellow ochre II necessary. Keep the
wash thin to avoid dark, muddy
effects. Let the wood dry between
coasts so you can Judge the color.
When It's just the shade you like,
wipe 1t off and give II couple Of
coats Of clear shellac. A varnish,
hot linseed oil, wax polish or other
finish can then be applied.
haven't tried this myself. but
I'm going to!
