Description
Burk has compiled detailed painting instructions for the realistic finishing of duck decoys. Photographs of a live bird from different angles show typical coloration of each species. Paint patterns illustrate the color and shape of each feather or group of feathers. Line drawings showing various head positions give the carver several choices in portraying the duck’s activity.
Series one includes patterns for the common mallard, black duck, northern pintail, Carolina wood duck, American wigeon, green-winged teal, blue-winged teal, northern cinnamon teal, gadwall, northern shoveler, fulvous whistling duck and black-bellied whistling duck.
This volume is part one of a two-part series; the second part is available separately.
