Rosalyn Diasey can help even a novice painter look great!,
By Lois Lyford (Kalispell, MT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Songbird Carving II (v. 2) (Hardcover)
My husband, Ron, is an excellent carver and has been doing songbirds for about ten years. He brings life to his carvings by burning the feathers in with such detail nearly everyone reaches out to "pet" his birds. This past year he decided to go beyond the "natural" look and asked me to paint a robin so that the gift to our grandson would be from both of us.I had only worked with watercolors previously and so, having had no experience with acrylic painting, I was still able to follow the instructions in this wonderful book and came out with a robin that looked very real. In fact, when painting one day, I had to answer the door and the guest flinched, thinking I was holding a real robin. Now if I can only come up with her instructions for painting a blue bird and/or a blue herron I would be grateful beyond words.

Excellent step-by-step instructions and reference material,

This review is from: Songbird Carving II (v. 2) (Hardcover)
I find that Roz Daisey's books are well organized and provide excellent, step-by-step instructions for both the beginning carver as well as experienced carvers. Each book takes you through several projects from start to finish with detailed photos and easy to understand text. All aspects are covered in just the right level of detail including bird anatomy, dimensions, tools, the carving process, stoning techniques, burning feathers, and painting the completed bird. By breaking down the process into bite size chunks in both her books and in her hands-on seminars, Roz Daisey has opened up the world of carving to those like me who never thought they could create such works of art. I can't wait until her new book on carving animals is published later this year.
