My Swedish Rooster

Trying another style of painting for this rooster. A little more realistic. I prefer wild and crazy but this is nice too.

The Swedish Rooster

Today I am working on an oil painting of a Swedish rooster and hen. I have completed the background and will start the rooster when the background is dry.

Today I worked on the background and I believe that this may be the finished product.

Thanks, Susan, for all your help and encouragement. It is definitely different working with such small brushes.

Running Wild

Last week Susan demonstrated how to add the splashing water under the horses. It is getting closer to a finished painting.

Using a new paintbrush called the dagger, I was shown by Susan how to add the tail and mane to my horses. This is my first experience using this type paintbrush and it is amazing...

Running Wild

Ok. The 3rd horse is in, now it's time to start working on the tail and mane. Hopefully my instructor will be able to show me the way... Keep watching for next weeks changes...

The second horse has been completed except for the main which will be added when all three horses are finished. This style of painting is very exciting to me.
