Looking good! Excited to see what paint job you come up with!

Steve, try hide glue and a bit of soda as a binder. For me it works excellent.

Soda, Simon?  Just something like Sprite?

I'm guessing he meant baking soda Steve.   Nice little bow

Haha, sorry Steve. Baking soda of course, Aaron said it already. A little bit mixed into the paint makes it creamy, much more comfortable for painting details.  LOL Sprite - that's good!

Nice Shorty bow. Looks like it was would be fun to shoot

[Parnell]

I wondered! 

That's funny, thanks for the suggestion, Simon.  I'm going to take your advice.

I hope to make progress this evening.

I played around with pigment but wasn’t impressed with my result.  Colored pencil came out real nice on the rawhide with tung-oil.  The oil really made it happen.  Just to wrap the handle...
