My wishes have wings!

Fantastic work with the black heron. You are very brave choosing that pose.
Good luck repainting them all!

Costa Oh! it will be difficult for me, to be judged by an expert in painting;
Susanne happy that my design make you laugh, and more I stay in the theme, I like it too, thank you!
Roger thank you for your words ---- Yes it will take no -mal time and patience. I work with an image as a basis; But always looking close-ups on the Web.

Tomorrow the first painted ........ !!!!!!

Oh, no I`m shure, you will do it great

This is my first bird friends are over technicolor!
Here are the first pictures!  
I will probably touch a few!    
Some details, but especially the eyes. (In macro mode) lasts lasts ....------

*applause*

They look very nice
You see ? :) You are doing great with the brushes

Fantastic! I have a question, are the birds flat or do they have a body?
Can't really explain myself, I hope you understand...

Thank you very much my friends



If I understand your question!
In fact some of my first bird, indeed it lacks corporeal matter, I discovered this paste and modelais, let her dry, but not long enough
I discovered that when 100% was drying my model gradually getting thinner ...

This year I work two or even three layers to provide more material, and crumpled aluminum proscribed as a foreign body, which had the unfortunate habit of being very compressed!
My latest models are in better health, (I most feeds).  
I'll post an aerial view of the 2015 vintages of my birds, you can judge for yourself;    
The projects will top 2016, I already fattened ....! %%%%%    

Here's a view of the Sunbittern in painting

Phantastic job again Jean-Luc :)

I second Andreas.

Another nice birds Jean-Luc  How many have you make for now?

Sunbittern! I remember watching one at a zoo for several minutes, it changed poses and it was really fascinating

Amazing how the paint brings them to life

Thay are wonderful, Luc

Thank you very much my friends
Susanne, Laura, Andreas and Christophe!
Christophe, I fell in love of birds at Bauval Zoo
Sunbittern birds is banal when it is running, but beautiful when it spreads its wings.
There is a beautiful collection of birds in this zoo!

This year 30 new species! Christophe

Ohhh, Luk, you continue making these lovely, detailed and interesting birdies

No two from right, we see often on the beach here

they are lovely !
I already imagine the photo with all birds together... will be very impresive :)

Susanne Kosta excited and thank you for your comments!  
that's my marabout is painted; at least the first layer!  
I realize that I have to touch it, especially since I shoot close-ups in pictures!  
By-cons, it blends perfectly with wildlife from my collection;  
I think the figure absorbs lumidité painting, and rendering after drying does not reveal what I wanted to create !!
So a little patience and I still susanne you would reveal perhaps a favorite

Great job, Luke

Each following model, looks better and better

Excellent marabut stork and nice shorebirds Jean-Luc

I absolutely agree with Kosta

Very nice again Jean-Luc!

Thank you very much my friends!    
Here is the map of world colored birds, those who have already been painted;  
The Sunbittern  shooting aside. I have finished it yet, the underside is not painted.
I have found, pictures of the birds under this angle, which is less obvious .I think it must be the same as above?
Nice work again in perspective. :
