Publisher's Synopsis
Jim Sprankle's definitive work on waterfowl carving shows, in exquisite detail, every step of the painting process in the hands of a master. With Curtis Badger's camera following every move, Sprankle demonstrates his technique on 14 waterfowl. Each step is accompanied by explicit captions, and Sprankle's paint mixes are illustrated in accompanying colour charts. Techniques illustrated include blending colour to water, building up washes, painting white on white, feather flicking, and more.
