Procedure:Note: Use brush sizes appropriate to the size and shape of the areas you are painting. Flat brushes are used to block in areas of color, rounds are for paining rounded areas and liner is used for tiny areas and outlines Background: Use the #12 flat brush to basecoat the area behind the rooster and sun with Winter Blue. When dry, load the angle shader with Williamsburg Blue and apply this shading color onto the basecoated areas around the rooster and sun shapes. Basecoat the sun area behind the rooster with Taffy Cream and then apply Marigold shading to the areas around the outline of the rooster. Use the liner brush to add Black dotted "stitching" lines around the inside border edges of the square background area and the background sun area. Rooster Head: Paint the comb, gaggle and area between the beak and eye with Deep Burgundy. Beak and eye areas are painted with Marigold. Area surrounding the eye is Jade Green with a touch of Dark Pine blended into the area nearest the eye while the paint is still wet. Head feather area is basecoated with Burnt Orange with a touch of Asphaltum blended near the outline of the area while paint is still wet. Use the #2 round brush and Black to paint the eye. Rooster Chest Area: Basecoat with Fawn. When dry, use the #5 round brush to tap some Asphaltum here and there onto the basecoat color to add a textured look. Rooster Body: Paint area with Deep Burgundy. Rooster Feet: Paint areas with Burnt Orange Rooster Wing Feathers: For each layer of wings, use round brushes to alternately paint individual feather areas with Marigold and Burnt Orange. Tail Feathers Near Wings: Each feather is divided into 2 sections. The right side of each section is painted with Burnt Orange and the left section of the feather is painted with Deep Burgundy. Short Triple Section Tail Feathers: The left section of each feather is painted with Asphaltum. The center of each feather is Fawn and the right section of each feather is Deep Burgundy. Large Tail Feathers: The five thin and pointed arc feather sections near the orange/burgundy feathers are painted with Fawn. Basecoat the remaining feathers with Jade Green. When dry, go back and apply Dark Pine shading to the base of the green feathers and then gradually blend the color down the left side of each feather leaving tips lighter green. Use the liner to add Dark Pine detail lines along each feather as indicated on the pattern. Outlining and Details: Use the #0 liner to outline and add all detail lines with Black. Assembly
