I'm painting a rooster!

It has never been something I thought I would paint but a rooster was commissioned for me to paint so here goes... I started out with a black canvas, covered the drawn in rooster with frisket and began to add the background with palette knife and a series of muted greens and yellow ochres.

 I am pleased with the background so far and excited to paint the rooster. The background will have to dry for a day before I work on the subject. Fortunately, it's acrylic paint so it will only take a day. Check back in a day or so to see the completed painting of "Rowdy  the Rooster". Thanks for viewing my blog.
