Now here's a watercolor sketch in a journal book about 6" X 8". Sketch the bird out roughly with pencil and then just one stroke at a time put in his color......COPY HIM if you have nothing else and try it. Use crayolas or colored pencil or just pencil. Whatever you have.....feel the fun of the process....not in makiing it look just like mine. We want YOUR chicken. Happy Memorial Day Holiday and to all your loved ones.
Thanks to Captn Elaine for commenting on her sketch.

Ricky, when I clicked on your painting to get a better look, I got a history lesson, too! Now you can't beat that :) Love the look of him although he looks scarey - one I'd probably be running from in the yard, trying to avoid being attacked (memories of visiting a great-uncle who kept chickens who would chase you around the yard are invading now!). No eating this old rooster - he'd be one tough old bird.
ReplyDeleteYour story is so funny and reminiscent of my childhood in the country. I also love the game cocks. Dad raised so many of those before fighting was outlawed. Big and beautiful color. Thanks for commenting.
