A short digression

We had some doors fitted today which meant I needed to be at home but not doing anything in particular - whilst the fitter installed 2 new back/side doors I settled down to paint hundreds of individual feathers on this eagle.

I've followed the Tale of Painters tutorial for this chap with a minor change to the greys as I was lacking one of the shades they used. Overall I'm really pleased how he's looking so far - the body feathers are all finished now but his head/talons still need more work.
