Out With The Hens





Out With The Hens 10x 14 SOLD


Have you ever been to a workshop that just left you feeling so inspired you just want to paint, paint, paint!! I just spent two days with Harold Allanson doing his workshop “Fearless Watercolors” and had a wonderful time. He does beautiful big watercolors of sights along the west coast that you could just die for. See some of his work at http://www.haroldallanson.com/


We spent our time working on these wonderful chickens from his place. I must admit I loved their tail feathers; they just were so interesting and lovely to add colors too. I definitely learned a lot from him and I think that I have finally got a firm handle on my darks. I had felt that often my watercolors were lacking in values but after this weekend I might have trouble getting some soft colors!!

    Great work. Chickens are easier to paint then they are to raise!! :)

    Thank you to all of you. Yes Kathyn the workshop was well worth it. If you get a chance to work with Harold take it.
    Yes Novice Artist, I agree, chicken are more fun to paint than look after!

    This is beautiful Wendy - so free and full of movement and light. I've tried loosening up, but it never works for me, so I am always in awe of artists who work freely like this. Isn't it wonderful when you are filled with inspiration like that - such a happy feeling!!! :)
