Blackrocksrock Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 They are really lovely - I am really very jealous of anyone who paints as I cannot draw or paint to save my life and wish I could - its a real talent. Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickweed Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 They are really good. Unfortunately I have no such talent. I am so jealous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

painterman Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Welcome to the forum, Painterman . Lovely paintings . I'm assuming your chickens are the models . We'd love to hear about them . hi thanks 4 the nice comments. its a nice way to unwind away from my other job of wing walking i drive actually. thats about as enjoyable as swimming with sharks iv always sketched and drawn but decided to pick up some brushes and have a go. i never even knew what a colourwheel ws until someone told me but its worked out ok. and no my sister keeps some chooks i keep white fancy birds of a different kind lol. i will post some pics of her chooks in future.

PurpleTree Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 They're fantastic, are they oils? Painting's not my strong point, I've always been better at pastels or watercolours. I haven't really tried chickens, but I've been fancying giving it a go, when I get some time to myself (so about another 4 years or so to wait ) I'm mostly concentrating on glass painting at the moment.

ubereglu Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 They look good. I paint too, but haven't done any recently as I've been really busy lately with college and exams, but when they're over I will get back to my handicrafts again!
