Wet Paint!

Finally got some paint on one of the black ducks I have carved. Time has flown by and deadlines are creaping up on me so you see a lot of work posted here soon. This is what I have on it so far.

Coming along nicely! How long did it take you to get the feather patterns on?

Thanks Rick. Honestly about 15 minutes....someting finally clicked after staring at enough birds and pics. The dry brushing of the darker colors took much longer. The lighter color within the feather shown is the base coat color.

I've yet to try a more detailed feathered bird, especially a hen. That last bunch of GWTs was suppose to have a hen in there but I started painting them after being up about 24 hours. Next thing I knew I had all drakes, lol

Just kidding, brother :lol: I really need to get down there and spend some time in your shop. I wouldn't even have a clue where to start, but like Red, I need another hobby like I need a new appendix. But it's just something I've always wanted to do.

:lol: :lol: :lol: That one made me laugh. Come on down any time. I plan to have another "carving day" before the season starts, but you're welcome when ever. It would be a good chance for you to get some direction from some local, nationally known guys.
