DIY: How to Paint a Yard Statue
Put me to work on an art project, and I will be over the moon! And that's exactly what my grandma did when I visited her with my family this summer. She had an old outdoor statue of Our Lady that was in desperate need of a facelift. I could tell this statue had once been stunning but was now in so much disrepair only the imagination could tell what it looked like before. When I was asked to complete this project, I was thrilled, but absolutely at a loss as to where I should even start. I tried searching for how-to's but I wasn't finding exactly what I needed for this specific statue. The thing with this one is that it had previously been painted: most tutorials were for statues that had not been painted. I did however use this Wikihow article as a reference for most of the steps I took. I did things a little differently though given my circumstances, so I'm going to share with you my method as well as the things I wish I had known to do, but no one told me... so
