There is just something about roosters and chickens that always makes me smile…
I saw a photo of a beautiful rooster that made me instantly want to start painting
I started with yellow and orange washes
I like to keep my inspiration photo close to my painting on the easel
More color washes establishing his shape
Then I began to define his face and head
More details and layers of color
Feather texture with lots of loose, thin strokes
The tail feathers are very abstract, layers of tones and shapes to indicate his bushy feather tail
Beginning to lay in some background with light washes and more details on his chest
and he’s done!
“Cock-a-doodle-do!”
Have fun and Be Fearless!
