My process for turning a block of tupelo wood in to an American Goldfinch ( Spinus tristis ). The majority of this sculpture is carved using my Dremel 3000. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK-a6Lx-oyE The paint was all Liquitex acrylics. The white was 80% Titanium White and 20% Raw Umber. The yellow was 80% Cadmium Yellow and 20% Titanium White (I'm guessing on the percentages). The black was 50% Ultramarine Blue, 40% Burnt Umber and 10% Mars Black I used 5mm dark brown eyes (link below). https://7d1abf71-1e51-11e4-bbcd-14feb5d39fb2.onlinestore.godaddy.com/products/5mm-dark-brown-eyes Flexcut Knife - https://amzn.to/31KHvW1 Dremel - https://amzn.to/2Sb5Ukp Kutzall Cylinder Bit - https://amzn.to/2S5FYqe Kutzall Sphere Bit - https://amzn.to/38acZXE Diamond Flame Bit - https://amzn.to/387jieB Tupelo Wood - https://amzn.to/37TrDCy Songbird Book - https://amzn.to/37Ks1m4 Lacquer - https://amzn.to/2w7yDOh Flexcut V-tool - https://amzn.to/2T6yiVd Colwood Wood Burner - https://amzn.to/2VuJWus Quickwood - https://amzn.to/32vGCRs Thin Super Glue - https://amzn.to/2I3dAPy Thick Super Glue - https://amzn.to/2I0Tqpr Liquitex Paint White Gesso - https://amzn.to/39izcTW Titanium White - https://amzn.to/32Cvt1k Burnt Umber - https://amzn.to/3a932dK Mars Black - https://amzn.to/47EVxsl Raw Umber - https://amzn.to/48FwvuC Ultramarine Blue - https://amzn.to/3SqsTqI Cadmium Yellow - https://amzn.to/3U8PitU Windsor & Newton Paint Yellow Ochre - https://amzn.to/3cf0nkF MDI Blue Ceramic Texturing Rod https://mdiwoodcarvers.com/products/1-8-blue-ceramic-texturing-rod White Texturing Stone https://mdiwoodcarvers.com/products/white-small-cylinder-texturing-stone 5mm eyes https://mdiwoodcarvers.com/products/5mm-hazel-light-brown-glass-eyes
