Wow! The colours are wonderful, fantastic rooster portrait. You are a very talented lady, I am in awe of your skills.

Cockscomb 💗 I have done several drawings from your book but have not done the peacock. Has anyone on your FB page done so? I’d be interested to see the outcome. ( I did your two dogs, zebra, kitten ).

I love your Rooster and I'm dying to have a go. Problem with it is the amount of pencils suggested. Having just completed the Kingfisher on Dura lar I think I really need the Grafix drafting film as I found the polychromos didn't lay too well. Beautiful Rooster though. Fabulous! Xx

Looks a bit like painting by numbers; no real spontaneity.
