Fearless Friday, Rosy Rooster

I saw some fun Botanical Rooster art by Michele Norman
on Pinterest and just had to trying painting my own

I liked this one too, but can’t source the artist
No sketch today,
I wanted to paint my rooster free and loose with watercolor

I started with the head


Two large circles for the roses form his body

Leaves

After the circles dried,
petals are indicated on the roses with darker red strokes

Small shapes for his chest feathers
and arced lines are the beginnings of his tail

Lots more feathers and his legs

A little splatter on the ground…
Cock-a-doodle-do!

Fast, loose, and free…
Be Fearless!

Well done, Jenna. The rooster is beautiful.
Thank you Bernadette!
Rosy Rooster is lovely! I admire your amazing talent and creativity and enjoy your Fearless Fridays. I have a small collection of roosters, once very large one resides on my kitchen island. However, I once was chased by a rogue rooster while I was out walking. It appeared out of nowhere 😂
Happy Friday, Jenna!
Thank you Pam! Something about roosters fascinates me and they are fun to draw…I’m sorry you got chased by a rooster, that must have been scary!
What a handsome rooster!
Thanks Angie 🐓
This is beyond wonderful! What a happy rooster!

Thank you Judee, he was so much fun to paint!
Love the rooster!
Thank you Carole, I thought these roosters were so cute, I just had to paint one!
That is the cutest thing ever and makes me want to paint!
haha, yes it was fun!
Absolutely adorable, Jenna! I have a weakness for roosters and now I want to paint some. Of course, I’m not nearly as talented an artist as you are, but I think I could have some fun trying!
Thank you Kim, I hope you try, I had a lot of fun~
I absolutely love your rooster! I love roosters anyway. Have you ever seen any of the cookbooks written by Jaques Pepin? He has illustrated them with his own rooster drawings that they are just charming. Thanks for providing a step-by-step here. One of these days I’m actually going to try.

Thanks for telling me Pattie. Sometimes WordPress asks you to log in with wordpress facebook or google and it shows the icons to click on before you reply and if you don’t it, the reply comes up as anonymous. Anyway, I’m not familiar with those cookbooks, I’d love to see them! I hope you try drawing one, they are fun subjects!
I love your fanciful rooster. He reminds me of Jacquie Lawson’s ecards.
Thank you Linda, I love Jacquie Lawson’s cards, my sister sends them to me.
So beautiful. You did an amazing job.
Thank you Hena!
I love this. Rosy Rooster is just delightful.
Visiting today from Happiness Is Homemade #39
thanks so much Paula, he was a lot of fun to paint!
Rosy Rooster is adorable! My mom loves roosters and used to paint too; I must remember to show this to her as she will absolutely love it. There is almost a painterly aspect to it with the roses and leaves making up part of the body. Such a fun and “fearless’ painting – love it!
P.S. WordPress seems a bit different her and I’m not sure how my comment will show up. If it comes up anonymous, it’s Kim from thecatswhiskerz.com
Thanks so much Kim! Yes, WordPress new commenting thing is driving people crazy, sorry!
Jenna, You are fearless painting without sketching first! Love your blooming watercolor rooster! I always love your signature splatter ♥
Thanks Mary, he was fun to paint!
