Music fingerpicking guitar

another brief respite from makeing things so I descided to move sideways "only briefly" to the topic of music & specifically that of great guitar. I appreciate it's all POV but my second love has always been a six string nylon acoustic.
Here are a couple of tracks I like to listen to for no better reason than I like em.

hopefully when I get back to OZ in a couple of months I'll be picking up a rare limited eddition steel string Acoustic, so i canget back to makeing my own music again, fingers crossed the deal goes through...

Devil paint up pt2, pt3


nxt up is the 2nd stage of the devil appliance, same deal agin with the pax paint mix. So I stipled the face with a base of mixed red due to the probs with the horns I still wanted to continue but away from the detail work.







I was fairly pleased with the slight sheene to the paint but it did'nt last long...The areas around all edged are left unpainted as when it's applied to a blad cap & skin there needs to be an overlap area to blend in the seams.

I ltr add a second stipled coat to the face with a deeper off red for texture & added several washes over the horns, to remove any excese & gain depth, occasionally remove any overspill with a light brush dipped in water or a sponge.

& last pic's of the finished horn detail for now.
