Laurie J McNeil wraps up the hand painting of the Oldsquaw drake (Long-tailed Duck) in breeding plumage. This video includes the final test float, then the actual judging of the 2019 IWCA Style Decoy Championship held at Cabela's in Richfield, WI on June 28 & 29. Thank you to all who have followed this documentorial video series from start to finish!
Disclaimer: Documenting in video, the painting process is the most difficult to demonstrate within view of the camera. Please remember this project was two years ago and my video setup improves, making for better videos for you. It gets better... 🙂 No one is more disappointed and frustrated than myself, when the quality of the video is compromised. I pull out of view, camera is out of focus, I spoke too quietly, or any number of things that can go wrong in this process. There's no "do-overs" when documenting a project such as this on video. I cannot go back and re-shoot the video, because the step has been completed. Like my carvings, I strive to make each one better than the last...
