This new french country painting by Linda Paul will make any room a happy, sunny place. It is an egg tempera and acrylic mixed media work of art. Each sunflower petal and rooster feather was sculpted in an acrylic base before being painted in pure egg tempera made from crushed stone and egg yolk
This is a frameless work of art but you can frame it later if you want to.

Here is how this painting was created
I have sketched out the and started the painting. Its a window view from a country home overlooking fields of sunflowers.. I have sculpted the rooster and sunflowers lightly in an acrylic polymer to give the painting lots of texture. Each feather of the rooster and each petal of the sunflowers have been individually sculpted. It will have a shutter on the left side.

In this stage, I have started painting the background. This is my compass for the colors that I am going to use which are ochers, earthy oranges and hues of green, yellow and red. I want the rooster tail feathers to be a brilliant teal color, so I have started those now to make sure they work with the rest of the colours in the painting.
I am back to my roots in this artwork using my pure egg tempera which I make from scratch "old school" by crushing stones and minerals and mixing them with egg yolk. Egg tempera is luminous and rich in color

I am focusing on painting the rooster right now and have just started to block in the sunflowers. I love the colors and where this painting is going |

I have been working on the sunflowers and I am just starting to paint the shutter a pretty green color |
