Rooster using Brusho Crystals

[KreativeK]

Last month I did this rooster with some fun in mind. 12×9 watercolor and Brusho watercolor crystals on Grumbacher 140 lb cold press paper . I’ve used two red Brusho colors for the rooster’s comb and a brown and grey Brusho in the white feathers. Background is a combination of permanent alizarin crimson (Winsor Newton) and phthalo green (Dick Blick). I used my photo of friends' white rooster named Snowball.
Critique/comments welcome.

That is truly gorgeous. It makes me want to use bold colours again; right now I am going through a black and almost non-existent colour phase in the 5 paintings I am working on simultaneously.

So beautiful Kay. This really pops and is fun.

Lovely! That background works perfectly against the red. Love how you've painted the feathers too.

Great Kay. I like the dark abstract background too.

I think I can learn from that rooster: it's so clever to be using Brusho Crystals.

Kay, WOW WOW WOW .. you made Snowball look sooo handsome! This is an amazing piece.

brilliant tones... red is quite difficult color to achive with depth, I find it quite good...

Beautiful rooster. Heard about brusho, interesting stuff, but I am in a self imposed ban on buying more art supplies....
