Happy Chinese New Year, Year of the Rooster! Sketch of a Fairy Angel, January 28, Art Sketches Daily

Happy Chinese New Year from me and my little rooster friend at lisarusso.com...

=========================================

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has a sweet smile and a crown of leaves.  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.


I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in January.  This is day 28.

This is a rough sketch.

Original Bantam Rooster Chicken Chinese Zodiac Painting! 1st Tuesday Art Prints & ACEO Prints! January Sketches...

"Cocky Rooster" Original 5"x7" Painting on Panel here

This week my featured painting is "Cocky Rooster," an original bantam rooster chicken painting.  The year of the rooster is starting on January 28th...  This is this year's painting inspired by the Chinese New Year Zodiac animals.  This original animal painting is available for purchase on my website as are art prints and LE ACEO prints!  The art has a realist impressionist feel and the original painting has some texture on the crest... 

Most of my art is also available on my website at lisarusso.com; however, on the first Tuesday of the month, I like to put some art prints and LE ACEO prints on ebay at a lower promotional rate for the duration of the auctions...  This month, my theme is Chinese New Year Zodiac animals, you may see them here.

I haven't yet painted every animal of the Zodiac and one of my Western dragons has snuck in, but it is a project I am working on slowly...  Some of these animals I've painted more of than are indicated in this grouping, they may be found on my website; with some available as originals and prints, with some only as prints...

The Featured Image "Cocky Rooster" is a new release and is available as bonus print auctions...

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She gazes upwards, her elegant hair adorned with flowers.  I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in January.  This is from day 23.

Here is a sketch of a columbine.  These flowers are so delicate and pretty...  I'm unsure if I'll paint it or not, but I did enjoy sketching it.

WIP Bantam Rooster Art Original Painting Work in Progress + January Sketches, Sketch 20, Fairy Angel...

In this original 5"x7" work in progress WIP oil painting of a bantam rooster, I've painted his eye and I've worked on his feathers.  I've put some texture medium on his crest and I will shade over that.  I may also need some more feathery accents to his wings before I'm done.  I'm hoping to have him completed for Tuesday before the start of Chinese New Year and Year of the Rooster...

This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  She wears a darling hat and has a cautious gaze.  I think she is most likely a fairy angel, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

WIP Bantam Rooster Art Original Painting Work in Progress + January Sketches, Sketch 13, Angel Fairy...

In this original 5"x7" work in progress WIP oil painting of a bantam rooster, I've been working on the background and beak.  I've also started on his crest and eye, but I'm not done painting them, as yet they're just blocked in.  I'm planning on using a texture medium with some overpainting for the crest when I get there, but I may or may not save that for last...  I hope to have him done for Tuesday, but we'll see..

This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

Here is a sketch of a big eyed gothic maiden.  She has some seriously long and luxurious eye lashes!  I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a goddess or a mermaid.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

Happy New Year! Sketch of a Bantam Rooster, January 1, Art Sketches Daily

I hope you have a wonderful new year.  This fairy angel and I send Happy New Year wishes from lisarusso.com.

=======================================

Here is a sketch of a bantam rooster.  I didn't quite fit all of this bird once again; however in this case my focus is mainly his face, I'm planning on attempting a small portrait of him for Chinese New Year...  

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in January.  This is day 1.  I believe it is my 335th day of consecutive sketching since February 1st, I hope to continue to challenge myself to sketch often this year...  Some days are better than others, but I very much enjoy the process. 

This is a rough sketch.
