Heater Shield

<< < (2/4) > >>

Sir Humphrey:
I have on wooden objects, but with the milk paints I have used in the past dont have deep opaque colors and leave a somewhat chalky texture.  Some say they need a clear coat of boiled linseed oil to "seal" them, but the linseed oil will oxidized and darken over time.  I wonder if shields with designes would have something similar to artist's oil paints

Ian:
I think historically they would have used gesso.

Sir Patrick:
Very nice work!  I think I came across your ancestor while doing a little research yesterday:

Sir Douglas:
Very nice work!

I painted all of my shields with acrylic, too. Shhhh. ;)

Sir Patick,

Thanks for sharing.  I've never seen that plate. That is Sir William de Bohun son of Humphrey my direct ancestor.  William was one of Edward IIIs main battle commanders.  He would have been an uncle to me (very far removed!)
