The Boss-Rooster

This is my contribution to this week's The Color of the Year Challenge at DPW posted by Kathy Weber.

Here's a shortened version of the instructions: The Pantone Company has selected "Tangerine Tango" as THE color for 2012. So, try to do a painting based around this color.
I found yellow ochre plus cad red light was a close match to the "Tangerine Tango" color.

I had fun laying the paint on extra thick with both painting knife and brush. Hope you like it!

Here's an example of Tangerine Tango

Banty Rooster Revisited

Acrylic on 7x5 hardboard.

This painting was posted on Sept. 12. I've been looking it over and wondering what sort of changes can I do to this to make it more interesting. Since it is acrylic, I say why not play with it? I changed the lighting on the rooster...added a little stronger chroma in spots...and added a few color surprises.
Though it wasn't changed in any major way, I kinda like the small improvements.

The surface is so smooth it's fun to see the thinned acrylic puddle and slide all over it. When it started losing it's slipperiness, I sprayed it with clear acrylic gloss coat...and here we go again! I also used my trusty Faber Castell Pitt Pen.

Loved this little bantam's fearless attitude. Looks like he's gonna shout "I am the GREATEST" ala Ali.

The image for this painting was supplied by Stoney for this week's WDE at Wet Canvas.
