Ian Davie & Painted Feathers

I thought I would share with you the work of one of my artist references- mainly because I am completely in love with what he does. His name is Ian Davie and he paints beautifully intricate scenes of wildlife onto swan feathers.

 I especially love the ones where he paints a scene across several feathers.

Whilst researching his work, I discovered that there are many artists who paint onto feathers, a popular one is Julie Thompson aka the Feather Lady.

There's even a website with lots of videos which teach you how to do your own feather painting!
