I recently sculpted a huge figure from a white pine log. I used an oil-based walnut stain and was not totally happy with the results ( stain was applied a few days ago). I decided to augment parts of the piece with paint / wash / glaze. I have TONS of acrylic paint - both craft and artist grades - but I don't know if if I can use this over oil stain. Do I need primer? Do I re-sand the areas? Or should I use oil-based paint? I'm mostly interested in a semi-transparant white-wash that will allow some of the dark grain underneath to show through. Any suggestions? THANKS!!

Since oil and water don't mix, You will have to sand the area that you want to paint well. Or you can use oil based paint which should adhere just fine.

acrylic is plastic based. It will fall off. I would use oil based wash, based on your description.
