I like doing it the other way. Carve the design, spray paint the carving, then do a flattening run to remove the excess paint. Both look good, just another option.
Hey guys Cabinetmaker here. Pine is really not the woodo to achieve nice carvings. It's loose grain makes it prone to chip easily. If you want to do some crisp carving try Steamed beech.

I hadn't considered that but that's a great way to do it that would give a great smooth surface too!
@@MyHappinessUnleashed A little light sanding and you are good to go, but man... you really gotta let that paint dry...

Solid advice! I'm hoping to cover that soon as well. Pine has been good for me for testing ideas.
