Royal Rooster

8.5x5.5 watercolor using White Nights paints done last of December in a WetCanvas weekend drawing event 2 hour challenge. This is painted on Canson 117 lb paper. The reference that we were given was that of the entire rooster but I've cropped most of the bird's body to focus on its head and neck. COPYRIGHT Kay Smith 2025

March Rooster

6x6 watercolor painted today in new Master's Touch sketchbook, 80 lb paper, a quickie farm animal or bird painting. I used minimal pencil lines for this proud fowl fellow and mostly a #1 rigger/script liner brush, wet on dry. COPYRIGHT 2025 Kay Smith

Tyler Rooster

17.5x13 watercolor on gessoed matboard finished today.  Drawn with charcoal pencil from a taxidermist model I found in a Tyler, TX antique store in 2009, am just getting around to painting it.  Largely brown and burnt sienna feathers covered the fellow's body.  I photographed him as he was perched on a tall furniture piece so this angle was interesting as he looks quizzical.

White Rooster

22x15 watercolor vignette on 140 lb cold press paper, an earlier work that is now SOLD.  This white rooster was named Snowball and belonged to friends who allowed me to shoot photos of him strutting around their place.
