Wildlife Studies – Rocky Mountain Big Horn Ram Complete Study Course combines a detailed step-by-step study guide with nearly two hours of companion video instruction from the late Paul Burnett, creating one of the most comprehensive wildlife carving courses in this collection. Originally produced in 2008, the course centers around a realistic Rocky Mountain bighorn ram portrait and walks leatherworkers through the complete tooling and coloring process while allowing them to study both the finished artwork and Burnett’s hands-on approach to carving and painting.

The included digital study guide covers layout transfer, swivel knife cuts, beveling, modeling, fur texturing, backgrounding, and layered acrylic coloring techniques. Multiple reference layouts, tonal modeling guides, paint lists, and progressive carving stages are included throughout the lesson to help leatherworkers better understand realism, texture, and form. The accompanying instructional video expands on these concepts through live demonstration, offering additional insight into tool handling, sequencing, and carving flow that is difficult to capture through still images alone.

Originally self-produced by Paul Burnett in 2008, the video reflects the production standards of that era. While the recording quality is more archival than modern studio production, the instructional material remains highly detailed and valuable for leatherworkers studying realistic carving and acrylic coloring techniques.

As with other archival materials in this collection, the included documents are presented close to their original published format and may contain minor imperfections consistent with the original production materials.

These patterns are made available in partnership with the family of the late Paul Burnett. Each purchase financially contributes to his family while helping share his work with a new generation of leatherworkers, ensuring that his teaching and artistic legacy remain accessible.

Materials provided for digitization courtesy of the Jim Shipley Collection and Paul Klasmann.
