Power Carving A Bird - Making An American Woodcock

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

In this video I carve a mother and baby American Woodcock from a piece of tupelo.
This piece is power carved using a Dremel 3000 with an assortment of bits. The texture is added with a ceramic bit in the Dremel and by wood burning.
The paint is applied using thin washes of Liquitex acrylic.
Base - 2 washes of Gesso and 3 washes of Raw Sienna
Bill - Light Portrait Pink/Burnt Umber base and Burnt Umber washes
Chick - Yellow Ochre/Titanium White/Raw Sienna base and Burnt Umber details
Wings - washes of Burnt Umber/Titanium White/Paynes Gray
Dark Feather Details - Burnt Umber/Paynes Gray
Gray Feather details - Ivory Black/Titanium White
Chest highlights - Transparent Mixing White/Raw Sienna
The head was washed with Unbleached Titanium before the details were added then all but the chest was washed with Burnt Umber/Burnt Sienna over the details.

    @@MCBWoodworks I completely understand,believe me I am a woodturner not for a living but for a hobby. I’m retired and get requests all the time to do this,that, and the other thing. People know i don’t charge anything for my creations , so i simply tell them i turn what i want when i want because i know the next question will be when can it be ready? Such is life eh Thanks for the chat. Smooth sailing for you in everything you do.
