I especially like this painting because I have my own hens. The lower red on their head is called the wattle, and the upper red is the comb. Their feet typically have four toes with three in the front and one in the back with talons (toe nails). Roosters often have spurs at the back of the lower leg.
He’s a real beauty! I love all the gorgeous colours and splatters. The red crest on his head is his ‘crown’ and under his face is his ‘wattle’. My father used to have chickens many years ago. Here in England, we call roosters ‘cockerels’. 😊
We have chickens and roosters wandering in our little "village". The colors are beautiful on some of the roosters. I will definitely paint this rooster!
Hi, Ellen. I love your painting tutorials, your teaching style and your voice tone is perfect for lecturing. You break down each painting to a non overwhelming doable project! I’ve learned so much from you and continue to pickup different tips in each of your videos, more so than other teachers. Thank you for what you do. I enjoyed this rooster so much….Maybe we can request other farm animals or wild animals for that matter!!!! Thanks again!
Gorgeous expressive rooster! Great job with the comb & wattle, beak & eyes! I definitely have got to give this loose & expressive style a try. Thanks for sharing the wonderful tips, tricks for this wonderful informational tutorial!
I am so grateful for your tutorials as a beginning watercolorist I want to paint the 🐓 for my friend who has over 100 hens and roosters. The red part on the top of the head is called the comb, the part under the beak is called the waddle. Now you know 😂
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I can't wait to try it, I love birds and chickens ❤ Do you have a page where your students post their work from your lessons?
