“The Fancy Cockerel” abstract art – Acrylics on board
“The Fancy Cockerel” is a dreamy, shimmering abstract interpretation of a proud cockerel. I have often seen cockerels strutting their stuff around their territory. Their colourful tail feathers glimmering in the sunlight. This fancy chap is no different.
I painted him during an “Animals in Speed Acrylics” art workshop run by Tindalls Art & Crafts in Newmarket. The workshop was tutored by Lois Cordelia, a local artist. Lois demonstrated many useful and interesting techniques. A few things that stuck in my mind were: to paint from the shoulder; to use long purposeful brush strokes and not to overwork the painting.
I broke away from my usual painting style – I used bright and shimmering colours, while using the coloured board as a means to extenuate features. I went wild with my favourite painting tool – the palette knife. Fun, fun, fun!
