Need Photos of Painted Gadwall Decoys

[David Palmer]

Hey folks! Just carved a dozen gadwalls and am having a hard time finding a paint-scheme I like (and can do)! Any pictures would be greatly appreciated, the simpler the better.

Grace and peace,

David

Looking at decoys ok it is nice to see how others tackle a spot you have trouble with. I would suggest looking at real ducks though for colors and flow. I suggest a lot of raw umber and a little white to make your greys and go from there

Tony, the bird's eye is brown, not red. Just a quick reminder to do brown in the furtur.
