Today I'm painting two of
Today I'm painting two of my favourite hens from the garden. Mrs Grey and Mrs White are a pair of characters who have to be different. Here they are, having a chat under a tree, maybe discussing how many eggs they have laid today. I show you the sketch and how to paint the hens as well as the line and wash process of painting the wild flowers which surround them.
The colours I used were:

Quinacridone Gold https://tinyurl.com/2wjnfbpy

List of Recommended Materials and Equipment from Jacksons Art
PAPER
Both these papers (Bockingford and Langton) are ideal for learning to paint, as they offer correct response from the watercolour paint, and yet allow corrections and alterations which more expensive papers do not permit. You need Cold Pressed (NOT) paper. Choice of size is up to you, as is the format.
BOCKINGFORD : GLUED PAD : A4 (8 x 11 ins): 300GSM (140lb): 12 SHEETS : NOT (Cold Pressed Medium Texture) £8
This paper is ideal for beginners as it is tough yet responsive. It is easy to make corrections on this paper, which has an attractive and distinctive texture. It is available in lots of sizes and as pads, blocks and sheets. It is available in Hot Pressed, NOT and Rough.

DALER ROWNEY: LANGTON : A4 (8 x 11 ins) 300gsm (140lb): 12 SHEETS:NOT (Cold Pressed Medium Texture £8.50
The Langton is a high-quality watercolour paper ideal for beginners. The paper is colour-stable, mould-made and acid-free, and is designed to withstand repeated washes without pulping or cockling. It is available in three surfaces: Hot Pressed, NOT and Rough. It is available in pads, blocks and sheets. Here is a link to an A4 glued pad. https://tinyurl.com/h7wjhvs7

I use mainly round synthetic brushes. You will need sizes 5, 7, 11 and 14. I recommend the following brand: PRO ARTE PROLENE Series 101 or 007
Prolene brushes use refined synthetic fibres specially developed by Pro Arte. A popular and versatile brush. Available in a full range of sizes and shapes. Click on link to see more.
PRO ARTE : PROLENE PLUS : SERIES 007 : ROUND : SIZE 7 £5.33
Improved colour holding and pointing properties. Set in a beautiful ferrule which is plated with gold. Polished teak handle completes the brush. Here is a link to a size 7.
