I show you how to paint this easy colourful rooster painting using my traditional watercolor paints you only need four colors plus black to create this vibrant painting. We start by learning about the split primary palette of six colors, and then I show you how I modify it with an alternative yellow (quinacridone gold), blue (black) and red (burnt sienna) to achieve a wide range of vibrant colors. Plus a quick tip about keeping your water clean, and a couple of Meeden product recommendations. Download the sketch for free from our website and enjoy our kitten and rooster at the end of the video as an extra treat!

About my brushes
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 112, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
