Getting the correct Redstart colours
I had to improve my powers of observation, once I actually saw a real redstart in the backyard!
The Redstart’s use of Binoculars
After much fussing, I got the redstart connected to the hands. Studied a range of bird books to get an acceptable colour scheme for the bird. Airbrush is a nice tool. 😊
Hands holding Binos
Working on the hands holding binoculars with a redstart bird on top. This will be to celebrate the 25th year of the Huron Fringe Bird Festival. Certainly had been a challenge; sculpting the hands, forming ‘binos’ and figuring out to put the bird on top. Good fun!
