I like how you can get such a fine, clean line using the scrubber brushes. I am going to get a couple of those. Also, I had never seen using the plastic bag and masking tape when airbrushing. I am going to try that method too. Thanks Tom. Bruce Brandeberry

Great! It's not for everyone Bruce but glad you are finding some things you want to try. Some of my friends have called me "the bag man" after seeing them in my painting videos!

Great tips. I will for sure, use these tips on my next black. Cheers,

Thanks Lewis!

Beautiful work. Question...why is there that distinct line in the neck area. When I look at the real bird I see a smooth transition from the neck to the breast. Not a line. So many carvers do it that way but I see a few make it softer like the real bird.

climate2014.audubon.org/birds/ambduc/american-black-duck I guess it depends on your perspective SO LT. Many black ducks have a pretty distinctive color transition at the neck. Here is an example.

@@tomchristieart Thanks, that is definitely true of the black duck. Thanks for the example. I guess they can vary. I see it done on other species as well. I'll have to look deeper into it. Loving the video's. Thanks again.

What Jo Sonja color would you say is closest to the chroma chestnut

[@tomchristieart]

Here is a video I put together with some Jo Sonja mixes to match Chroma colors, including Chestnut. Hope this helps. Paint Mixing Tips kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqrPn6CiarWlidU
