To see previous in progress photos. Part 4
Well, it's New Year's eve, and I really wanted to finish this bird, so
after a lot of procrastinating, I set my mind to it.
I added highlights to his feet, wings and tail...then painted his eyes.
It's so hard to get the eyeballs "just right", but I think I got it.
I'll take better photos tomorrow (in natural light), and then give him a
couple of clear coats, to protect the paint job. Not sure if I should give
him a satin, or matt finish...
Here's the underside... I carved my signature on his foot.
What a perfect way to say goodbye to 2011, finishing the details on
one of my best clay pieces, ever. (It also reminded me that I have a horse
that's still waiting to be painted- he's next.)
