Carving & Painting with Ernest Muehlmatt: Black-Capped Chickadee
"Award winning carver Ernest Muehlmatt presents step-by-step instructions on how to carve and paint one of his favorite and most popular subjects: the black-capped chickadee. Full-color photographs and detailed text illustrate every part of the process, from roughing out the head and carving the wings, feet, and legs to adding realistic texture, preparing the colors, and painting the finished piece. Muehlmatt offers his secrets on creating a stunningly lifelike carving-emphasizing the importance of sound research, tool selection, and the use of proper carving and painting techniques. Full-sized patterns, large-scale live-bird photos, and information on the species complete this first book in an exciting new bird-carving series. Ernest Muehlmatt is a three-time winner of the Ward World Championship Wildfowl Carving Competition, winning twice in the miniatures category and once in decorative life-size. His bird carvings are included in some of the leading public and private collections in the country. He lives in [Salisbury, Maryland], where he carves and conducts carving workshops.
