Feather Art by Julie Thompson

Self-taught wildlife artist Julie Thompson uses feathers as canvases for her amazing art:

Julie began this artwork in the early 1990s, using feathers shed naturally by domesticated birds like peacocks and turkeys, but it was far from easy. Even a simple image can take a huge amount of painstaking work, and Julie says that on average, any single painting can involve as much as 18 hours worth of artwork.

The artist with the feather-light touch

Painted onto elegant swan quills, these beautiful examples of feather-art really are fit for a Queen.

Painstakingly created by English artist Ian Davie, each individual piece painted over the royally protected bird's feathers can take up to one week to complete.

Using feathers collected during the regal birds' annual moult from a swannery near to his home, Ian has spent the past four years perfecting his craft. LINK

“Here we have some amazing paintings created using ‘feather’ as canvas. Though we don’t know much about the technique involved in creating these amazing paintings, but we do know this: its much different from other types of painting.” LINK
