Paint technique with this medium?

Awesome.

With a feather as your canvas, do you have to seal it first, before you apply the acrylics?

Denali is a Compagnon.

I do give it alight coat of acrylic spray, which is about like hair spray. It's more to deter hungry bugs than to stiffen the feather though.

Thanks. I can see how that would also preserve the colors.

Wow. The colors seem to leap off the feather.

one of the most creative mediums/use of feathers I have ever seen. This scene is amazing in its detail and coloring on such a fine surface!

I love how it fades from brown to the picture starting at the spine of the feather's bottom.
