This is the second post in my photo essay on the evolution of one of my papier-mache birds. If you missed the first installment, which showed the sketching I did as I was planning this piece, you can see it here.

The images in this post show the process of building the bird’s form and covering the body with the initial coat of paint.

As always, I welcome questions! Please leave me a comment below.

I’ll be back next week with photos of the painting process. See you then!
