Original artwork description:

This red cookoo orpington cockerel caught my eye because of his beautiful colouring. I enjoyed layering the patterened paper before adding paint.

I start the canvas with a rough pencil sketch and then I add the coloured paper before building up the layers with acrylic paint. The last thing I add are the embellishments of thread, beads, buttons and glitter to pick out or highlight certain areas.

Materials used:

Mixed media collage: acrylics, paper,thread, beads, glitter, button
