Sorry I’ve been quiet. Work is getting, well, stressful is a good way to put it. I’m glad y’all are ok tho. I don’t miss hurricanes at all and I especially don’t miss the cleanup. We had a small snowstorm here so we had tons of downed limbs. I think we had worse cleanup than you Cynthia!
You know this makes me think, I’m not sure I’ve actually seen a well bred leghorn. All I’ve seen is hatchery stock and I’m not sure if I’d be able to visually see a difference like I have with barred rocks
That poor Ameraucana. That’s awful.
That leghorn doesn’t look like a good example of Colombian either. I’m not a fan of the color as is but I’ve never actually seen a poor example of it until now.
Thanks for the info! I think a project I’d love to tackle one day is breeding rare colors to be productive layers. Not as productive as a hatchery white, but still respectable
Ok, I haven’t read the whole thread because it’s long and my brain is fried. I do have a few questions tho. Are all varieties of leghorn flighty? Are some colors or strains calmer? Do they all lay as much as my hatchery girl?
I used to think they were a sorta plain bird, but I got a leghorn...
I have, but I’m intensely private about my art. So I have not and likely won’t post them anywhere.
For me, I have an iPad with true tone. So the screen doesn’t alter the color. I also have the same control of my lines on screen that I do on paper. I have the same measure of progress. I don’t...
Meanwhile I can’t do traditional to save my life. I feel that digital is much more forgiving of mistakes, of which I make plenty.
I think you might’ve but now I can’t remember. My brain is fried and I feel like a jellyfish
He looks good! I think it’s just knowing your tools. For the yellow I did a soft airbrush and then went over it with a cloud brush on another layer set to Add or Screen, to brighten it. Then for the oranges, I’d either do the same thing or I’d go on a third layer set to Multiply and darken it...
