More Chickens

Ok, a little more chicken sketching.  Seems I've got so many chickens I should open a chicken farm.

I don't know what has caused me to paint chickens, but I've found painting them to be quite fun and relaxing.  I used to scoff at chicken pictures and kind of make fun of the videos people would post of painting chickens, but I've got to tell you,  Once you start, you'll want to do more.

I think what it really is, is that chickens really lend themselves to be painted.  You can quickly and easily throw down some paint, let it mix on the paper, and voila, chicken.  Theses chickens and the last ones I did, I painted with 3 colors, and let most of the color mix in the paper.  When dry, I just went back and dabbled a few feather shadows and there they were... Chickens!

I'm hoping this exercise will allow me to loosen up in the rest of my paintings, but even if it doesn't,  I'll still have some fun chickens .

Thanks for the quick read.  Hope you enjoyed the chickens.
