I was asked to show someone new to airbrushing how to paint a bird of prey as a sort of teaching lesson, thought you guys would also like to watch the process as well

He wanted a relativity standard bird of prey reference so I picked one with several area's of interest such as:
Out of focus background
Simple Trees
Sharp focus area around the main subject
Feathers
'Depth of field'

Hopefully I will be able to explain and demonstrate several different techniques to achieve the above.

Ok,...
