Hoovering over with that awesome QuickZoom-Thingy you'll detect all the textures easily.
This rooster
will be
part
of
the
DFVA's Riverfront Art
Show
April 1-3 in Wilmington,
DE.
Roosters generally tend to wail when they are distressed or in heat.
The sound made by the rooster is spelled onomatopoeically as
"cock-a-doodle-do" in English
but otherwise in other languages, such as in Dutch: ”KUKELEKU!”
Part of OLGarts STUDIO's program is teaching and adding different TEXTURES.
Texture, another element of art, is used to describe either the way a three-dimensional work actually feels when touched, or the visual "feel" of a two-dimensional work.
Use of texture, along with
other elements of design, can convey
a
variety of messages and emotions.
Texture gives a painting a
character.
This is what I did:
I drew a shape of a rooster, partially
with cheese cloth, and partially with
wood
shavings and music paper.
I dipped cheese cloth in gesso and
"glued" it down with gesso.
While
wet the cloth is still pliable.
When dry, it' hard as a rock.
Mediums used:
wood shavings, cheese cloth, wire
(foot) book paper, sheet music, lace,
paper, crushed eggshells, acrylics,
different gels, binder,
matte medium.
(All archival and
high quality brands.)
