Chicken techniques

Painting each other in the sun

Sketchbook pages from my weekend workshop (“Figure Forms in the Landscape”) at Amana Arts Guild, offered through Grant Wood Area Education Agency.

Above left, watercolor techniques demonstrated with chickens! Above right, drawing each other in the sunlight, drawing with watercolors too. In the sunlight you can really see the form on the face and clothing. We then cut out the smaller figures (like the green clothed person on the right) to travel around in our landscapes. It really gives life to the painting.
