About This Course

Learn how to paint the shape, poses, colors, feet, heads & feathers just right for fun & believable painted chickens.

NEW BONUS LECTURE added August 2023

What fun this popular course is. Chickens seem to be a popular painting subject.

Along with such things as greeting cards and mugs etc with them on, I thought I would do a course.

So I have got a selection of photos together and I will show you how to start off by making simple shapes to create the chicken, then to make it look more believable, step by step.

I'll show you the colours to use, keeping it simple and then we'll go onto painting individuals and groups, finishing off with a portrait in a more defined style.

BUT MOST IMPORTANT.

This course will really build your confidence. Why? Because you will be using a lot of water and you will not sketch prior to painting.

So what are you waiting for?

Every lecture is supported by resources where indicated and if you have any questions, just get in touch.

Why choose one of my courses?

Because, as a self taught artist I understand how a lot of people feel about their creative work, sometimes anxious, sometimes overwhelmed and often that it's not 'good enough'. I will hold your hand as you overcome these fears as I offer a friendly, relaxed and sensitive teaching style.

I also have years of experience of teaching people of all levels both in person and via the internet.

Do one of my courses and you will feel as if I am in the room with you every step of the way.

Enjoy your painting, love Nicola

I am just beginning and really like the friendly and entertaining way she allowed me to get to know her a bit before beginning and she even explained the use of the UDEMY site. As an adult I believe this will allow me to play again.

Enjoying the course so far. The first chicken took me lots of erasing but the second one went smoothly and it was much easier to relax while sketching.

not bad. had a hard time seeing her initial sketches and layers of paint because they were so light. i don't know if the camera being closer to her painting may help. . .

This was a great course for me, I need more practice painting without drawing and this is exactly what I was looking for.
