Got a ways to go yet, this is my first one, got too much paint on the body caused the feather to separate when it dried...gonna add detail to it today....how does it look? thanks, pappy
I can't see it very well on my phone but what I can see looks good.
Looks good, especially for a first attempt.
Looks great to me.
I like it. Pappy, you got some talent......
Looks good. May need to pick one of those up from you!
Holy Moly guys thanks, I just thought it would a nice change as I am trapped inside.....
Pappy if you did not do this, try stabilizing the feather with clear coat first. This will slightly stiffen the feathers and keep them from separating.
You can do just the back side or both sides for more strength, a matte finish is invisible especially once the feather is behind glass.
Looking good.
I did not put any kind of coating on the feather to start out, I was told that if you did that you would lose the natural feel of the feather. But I was told that a matte finish would be ok after the feather is painted I may have to try both ways, huh?
Looks good Pappy.
Looks great to me! I think many skills have been honed from the boredom of cold weather.
Correct you loose the feel of the feather, but it makes it a lot easier to paint :) Not sure what the big deal is retaining the "feel" when trying to paint it?
Just a trick I learned from a professional feather painter.
:you_rock: looks good to me!
That's a great display piece.
Nice
Hey Pappy,
That looks great!
What a pleasure to meet you at the Convention.
Thanks,
Clark
Finally got to look at it on a full size monitor. It looks really good. Are you using acrylics?
I've wanted to learn to paint with acrylics but never set aside the time. Seems a feather would add to the difficulty.
very nice there Pappy :icon_thumright:
That is some NICE work there pappy :drool:
Looks pretty darn good from here..... ;D
Looks awesome, I'd pay money for that. GOod work

yep water base acrylics I was told they do better on feathers because of the oil content in the feathers. Again thanks for the comments everyone
Looking good Jack!
Pappy, your good at everything you do. You always post up top shelf items.... :icon_thumright: Strutter.
Looks very good!!!!
Looks fantastic. Great job.
Looks good Pappy.
Looks great! I always spray about three light coats of Modge Podge matte sealer on the feathers before i paint them then one coat after painting. Holds it together really good.
