Chickens and roosters are unexpectedly good subjects for painting, so I decided to have a go at it.
My first thought was “I can do better,” so I found a few more watercolor examples on Pinterest (from which I copied the one above) and rough sketched out four more candidates.
This is akin to the “bluebird” phase I went through a few years ago. I’d like to get better at both the sketching part (proportions and all that) and the painting part. And we all know that there’s no way to get there except through practice. After I do these four, I’ll find actual photos of chickens and roosters on the internet and launch out on my own, rather than relying on copying the work that other artists have done.
I finished the last page in February for the “Year at Providence Place” book that looks like it will take me 10 years to finish at this rate.
Ideally I’d have one more page for February, but I’m running out of steam. This project may not carry through.
That’s it for this week! What’s going on in your workshop?
My first thought about this post is “I can do better; I’ll probably delete it in the morning.”

Is it one page a day? Or one page a week? My suggestion would be to let them slip. Don’t try to catch up. Jump right to the third week of March for your next one. Do some of the ones you will miss next year when that day or week rolls around again …

Originally I wanted to do one per week but I couldn’t keep up. Ruth gave me similar advice to yours, so maybe I’ll do more as I go along but not try to play catch up. Thanks!!
