  • Basecoat rooster using short overlapping strokes with the brush turned vertical. At this point you are not using a lot of paint.


  • Head - Engine Red

    Eye - 1/2 moon with Wicker White, Pupil – dot of Licorice

    Beak – Yellow Ochre

    Body – Raw Sienna

    Chest – Wicker White + a dot of Raw Sienna

    Front Leg – Wicker White + a dot of Raw Sienna, stripe with Burnt Umber

    Back Leg – Wicker White + 2 dots of Raw Sienna to create a darker shade, then stripe with Burnt Umber.

    Feathers – Using #10 flat, stroke in feathers first using Engine Red, then stroke a few Autumn Leaves, and then stroke a few Ultramarine Blue feathers. Don’t put all of the feathers in at this time, as you will layer thicker ones when putting in the final details.

  • Let rooster dry for 10 minutes.

  • Now when painting the rooster load your brush heavy with paint.


  • Head – Using the #1 flat and a touch of Burnt Umber shade at the top of his head just under his comb. Highlight his comb with Autumn Leaves.

    Eye – Using #1 liner, shade around his eye with a touch of Burnt Umber.

    Beak – Shade at the back part and lower part of his beak with a touch of Burnt Umber. Highlight the top of his beak with a mixture of Yellow Ochre + Wicker White.

    Body – Coming down the body with Yellow Ochre. Highlight with a brush mix of Yellow Ochre + Wicker White.

    Chest – Right under the face, stroke with a mixture of Wicker White + a dot of Raw Sienna. Wipe brush light with a paper towel and load with Wicker White and finish the chest.

    Bottom of Body – continue with Yellow Ochre and highlight with a brush mix of Yellow Ochre + Wicker White.

    Front Leg – Where the front leg begins paint lighter with mixture of Yellow Ochre + Wicker White.

    Back Leg – Should be painted the same just in a darker shade.

    Feathers – Using more paint, stroke feathers with Engine Red, a few Autumn Leaves, then a few Ultramarine Blue.

    Ground – Using the fan brush, load brush with Raw Sienna. Test on a separate part of your palette to off load some of the paint. Paint under the rooster’s legs as to cover his feet. Then brush mix a little Yellow Ochre and Wicker White and create a grassy look. Using the #10 flat, lightly pull some horizontal strokes to lay the grass down.

    Finishing the pitcher - Using a small piece of sea sponge, lightly sponge Yellow Ochre around the neck and the center part of the handle. With the #10 flat, lightly pat Ultramarine Blue around the top, middle, bottom and handle rims.
