Eric Gérard - Les oiseaux en bois

The making of a wooden bird is complex, it is already necessary to observe a lot and to analyze the behavior of each species of bird, which is specific to it and which will make it possible thereafter to impregnate oneself with it in order to deepen its subject
First you must draw the desired bird, then establish templates to be able to project it on the piece of raw wood. Cut it patiently and then carve it with wood gouges and rasps
Little by little, it comes to life in your hands and once the sculpture is finished the painting will intervene to sublimate this work of sculpture
It will now be necessary to make a color chart that will allow you to get as close as possible to the species and paint for long hours with a lot of details
The glass eyes will allow to give him a glance and will finalize this work of long breath.
