Brusho Rooster II ~ demo

15x11 watermedia using Brusho crystals/watercolor on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper done last Saturday of April for another demo at Colorado City, TX. This live presentation was for art group West Texas Art Guild. I had previously painted a similar white rooster and explained how to apply the Brusho sprinkles and how to achieve a mixed black background with thalo green/alizarin crimson.
