Checkerboard Chicken!





HI! Yesterday I drew a rooster on my poured paper. I decided to make him checkerboard so this morning after breakfast I started painting him! I mix my own black by mixing sepia and ultramarine blue, so that gives each black square a different hue.. which is nice. I'm going to find lots of chicken photos and decide what color he will be. I want it bright!Take care, talk to you soon,Diana

ps When I walked into the kitchen, there sat Rudy.. I think she was trying to tell me something. What a Cat!

  1. What an imaginative way of painting you have! I have also been inspired by chickens recently, as in a couple of my own previous posts - That's since we got three chickens of our own a couple of weeks ago! I have sketched a feather and and egg so far, but haven't quite got around to a chicken! They are fascinating creatures though aren't they?
    Can't wait to see the finished piece :0)

    Rudy is so neglected , just look at that poor thing... lol !
    can't wait to see your rooster, and painting blacks by mixing them is so much more interesting. BJ
