Chickens

Chicken-a-go-go.  I don't know why I like painting chickens, but I do.  They are so fun, and easy.  All you have to do is let the paint do its thing.   I could have painted these all night.  Just draw one after the other, and paint paint paint.  

If you haven't seen it, I've put a short video that will show you how I've done it.  

Here it is

Thanks for the view.  I hope you enjoyed it.

Chicken Mania

In addition to last nights poppy painting session.  I also found a little time to paint a few chickens.  I really don't know why i keep painting chickens.  I do like birds, but if I were asked to list my favorite birds, chickens would be WAY down the list.

It must have to do with the fact that you can throw a few colors into a chicken shape and it always comes out looking good.

I started painting them to force myself to let the colors mix on the paper, and I guess I got a little addicted.  Well, at any rate, they are fun to paint.  I hope you like them.  

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.
