Description
This original colour pencil drawing was done tonite in Prismacolor Pencils for entry into Lori Moon’s Traditional Media Farm Animals Contest. Since moving to Kentucky, I have befriended Jenny Epperson, who for several years raised chickens and sold her eggs locally. While she did not raise Silver Spangled chickens, I began to research chicken types because her eggs were of BEAUTIFUL mixed colour which began my research. Also, I once was commissioned to draw a Spangled Chicken watercolour painting for an employee of my best friend’s husband for a wedding gift. And so...my fascination with this wonderfully feathered species of fowl! Here, I decided to present the ROOSTER in variations of this drawing ...b/w, and final painting. You chose which you like best. Please Enjoy this composite pose derived from a mixture of several reference photos. The beauty of the Silver Spangles to me is that they are like fingerprints...no two seem to have exactly the same plumage markings. And so, my mixed dots and waves of feather are pretty much my own development beyond trying to stay true to the physical silhouette of this magnificent farm animal.
NOTE: Within the controversial distinction of CP “drawing” or “painting” lies artist definition. My definition: when the surface is ENTIRELY burnished, I classify as a Painting; when any exposed Paper Is part of the composition or background, I classify as a drawing. I render both.
