Dear Wildfowl Carver,
Painting may be the final step in bringing a bird carving to life—but for many carvers, it’s also the most intimidating.
After 50 years of carving birds, renowned carver and instructor Floyd Scholz has seen this firsthand.
In fact, Floyd believes that if you asked bird carvers which part of the process they find more challenging—carving and texturing or painting—more than 80% would choose painting.
But Floyd has some reassuring advice:
Relax. Keep it simple. And learn to understand color.
In this informative Gold Club video, Floyd shares techniques he has developed over decades of carving, painting, attending carving shows, and teaching seminars across the country.
You’ll discover how a surprisingly limited palette can open up a whole new world of possibilities—including softness, depth, color correction, and the subtle effects that help transform an ordinary block of wood into a believable bird.
Floyd also explores what makes wildfowl carving such a remarkable art form: the combination of sculpture, painting, craftsmanship, a love of the outdoors, and an appreciation for the beauty of birds.
And with more than 9,000 bird species around the world, there’s certainly no shortage of inspiration!
