Unexpected Day Off Work

Post by ma larkin »

I had an unexpected day off work today, and felt creative so I decided to do a painting of my Silkies when they were chicks, but they ended up looking like baby owls!!! They are VERY difficult to draw!

I was wondering if there are others on here that draw or paint their chickens. Or even other animals.

I had been thinking about it. I used to paint in watercolours but would like to try oils but haven't a clue about them!

This is an image of kerry the cairn.
