Statues in the yard are like icing on a cupcake. For best results get unfinished statues direct from the factory and paint them to protect them from the weather. Diana used two shades of gray acrylic craft paint applied in thin watery layers like water colors. Recesses are darker and projections are lighter. Use a matte clear top coat to finish and seal, and your statue will look great and last a long time.
