Ultimate fighter IV final.... An exercise in staining!
I finished this one with maximum contrast in mind...
I remained fairly conservative with this one... so the next step is really to loosen up. There is more staining than painting... achieving a better balance is another objective of mine. I'm still fine tuning my technique with raw linen/cotton canvas... and part of the reason is that I want to leverage its pale gray color to the fullest.
