Eye of the Rooster

9x6 watercolor on Winsor & Newton 140 lb cold press paper, done earlier in the month using one of many rooster and chicken photo references. With this fellow, I've cropped him closely to better focus on his eye and comb. COPYRIGHT 2024 Kay Smith

Brusho Rooster

12x9 watercolor and Brusho watercolor crystals on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper done several days ago. I've used two red Brusho colors for the rooster's comb and a brown and grey Brusho in the white feathers. Background is a combination of permanent alizarin crimson (Winsor Newton) and phthalo green (Dick Blick). COPYRIGHT 2021 Kay Smith

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.
