The Rooster

This is the DPW challenge this week. Chicken! I decided to do a rooster rather than copy the chicken. Another challenge...Color choices, trying to do color changes with each stroke. He is a cocky challenge!

I did this watercolor before I went to the workshop last week. It is from a photo of the hen house from the first workshop. I got good remarks from Fred Graff and he recommended a few minor changes. I really like the colorful vibrancy.

The hens

I love this little painting. The hens were so cute perched on that bar. It was early morning and the light was interesting in the shadows. Hard to photo as the painting is dark.
