OMG, that is SO beautiful! Never mind that that is my ultimate favorite bird of prey, your skill and command of color and form is exemplary!

[@angellelucio3650]

Watching the transformation at such a fast rate and seeing the spectacular end result is simply amazing.

[@JasonLucioArt]

Now if only I could actually carve a piece that fast! 😁 ❤️

[@bdcopper]

Awesome Jason! One of my favourite birds . Nice touch with the primaries above and below the tail. thanks for posting

[@JasonLucioArt]

Thank you and yes I like the over/under primaries also. It adds a little asymmetry to the bird.

[@alexdonatis]

The scene you set with the Falcon and the fence is so life like! Nicely done!!

[@JasonLucioArt]

Thank you Alex and thank you for the music!!

[@andrewhiserodt2900]

My dad used to carve all sorts of ducks, birds, and fish. Keep up the good work!

[@JasonLucioArt]

Thank you. I had spoke a few times with your dad on Facebook before.

I had just cut out a Kestrel blank to work on next week at our demonstration. I am sure to return to this video a lot while I am carving it.

[@JasonLucioArt]

I hope it's helpful Don.

[@edwardjoelmichaels2543]

Fantastic work! I aspire to do what you do, I guess I better get to practicing!

[@JasonLucioArt]

Thank you and yes no time like the present to get started.

[@JasonLucioArt]

Thank you Fred!

[@williamjhunter5714]

Wow looks great are you using guache for paint and clear coating it?

[@JasonLucioArt]

No, I am using a resin based acrylic paint that has a matte finish. At times I will give the paint a top coat of a thinned acrylic satin varnish or un-thinned on areas like the bill or feet. Here is the paint I use shop.decoart.com/traditions-canvas-art-paint/

Thank you again.

[@markdmaker3173]

What do you use to seal the bird before you prime it ,is it thinned with a solvent?

[@JasonLucioArt]

I seal them with a semi gloss clear lacquer. Usually Deft or Watco brand. Sometimes I will cut the first coat by 25% with lacquer thinner if the detail is very fine.

[@SpyanLord]

Nice to see someone with actual skills on youtube. Great work.

[@JasonLucioArt]

Thank you very much.

[@canadianbacon1088]

Simply excellent final result, just a pity it didn't show the air brush techniques and application, just the hand work (although simply amazingEh!) 😬

[@JasonLucioArt]

Many thanks and I will keep that in mind for future videos.

[@srinivastatachar4951]

It looks like you could shoo it off that fence and it would fly away! ======================================================================

[@JasonLucioArt]

😁Thank you!

[@belmontiesteak1096]

Superb! Might I ask, what would you say is your average completion time if all goes swimmingly with a project?

[@JasonLucioArt]

It really depends on the size of the bird but something like this falcon would be around 5 weeks.

[@belmontiesteak1096]

@@JasonLucioArt Thank you very much for your reply!

[@stevenorris6846]

Nice work Jason. May I ask where you got your pattern from as I'm contemplating on carving one myself

[@JasonLucioArt]

Hi Steve, I drew this pattern up myself. I am looking to finalize it and make it available for download here on KZbin in the near future. Thanks for watching and asking.

[@stevenorris6846]

Thanks so much Jason! Your work is inspiring!

[@aaronallen4386]

Do you sell your carvings

[@JasonLucioArt]

Yes I do. You can see them on my website www.jasonlucioart.com

[@lesleyrobertson8940]

👍👏

[@matthewalexander2436]

I noticed one wing didn't have flight feathers, was this intentional? I'm an artist myself. 😊

[@JasonLucioArt]

Actually, one wing crosses over the top of the tail and the other is slightly hidden by being tucked under the tail. I can see how you thought that though.

[@JasonLucioArt]

At around 6:45 you can see them both.

[@matthewalexander2436]

@@JasonLucioArt you're right, my bad! Beautiful work bro.

[@JasonLucioArt]

@@matthewalexander2436 Thank you.

[@greggale5165]

is that basswood?

[@JasonLucioArt]

No it's Tupelo wood. If you aren't familiar with it it is a very light, somewhat soft wood. Carves great with power tools and very little grain.
