Hi Jess! I'm loving your videos, and just realized you are local! Jen and I get together regularly...hoping you'll join us!

Do have a question...how do you finish the edges of the birch plywood?

Yes, I will be joining you guys!! I'm so excited to have some fellow flyers locally.
As for the birch plywood. I wait for the entire piece to dry, and then I pick a coordinating color from the piece, tape off the painting, and paint the edges with Golden Heavy Body acrylics. It gives the painting a nice finish by adding a "framed" effect. Hope this helps.
