Description
In this vibrant lesson, Frances shows you how to paint a cockerel with proper swagger — bold colour, sharp contrast, and that unmistakable strut. You’ll learn how to layer rich oranges, reds and deep indigos without the whole thing turning into mud, and how to use decisive, confident brushstrokes to suggest feathers rather than fuss over every line. She breaks down where to place your darkest shadows so the body has real weight, and how to keep the tail feathers lively and fluid with quick, expressive marks. You’ll also see how to add controlled splatter to lift the whole piece, giving it movement and energy without overwhelming the subject. A cracking project for anyone wanting to loosen up while still keeping strong form and character.
