Lanner Falcon study 8 x 8 ins.
Posted on fb 03 April 2022
A friend of mine Chris Burczak, has just returned from the Kalahari with a wealth of wonderful material. One digital in particular of a juvenile Lanner with a dove is outstanding and will make for an exceptional oil painting.
Raptors are very specific in their markings so I have started an 8 x 8 inch study, (following in the footsteps of the great Ray Harris Ching), to prepare my techniques for the main piece. Capturing the details of these exquisite birds of prey is far more challenging than first thought but I am thoroughly enjoying the journey! I will post an up-date tomorrow.
