Description

An expressive watercolor painting depicts a rooster in a profile view. The color palette is restricted to black, white, brown, and a small area of orange. The loose brushstrokes create a semi-abstract appearance, emphasizing form and movement over precise detail. The rooster's head is positioned at the upper left, with its body and tail extending downwards and to the right. The watercolor paint shows visible paper texture. The piece utilizes a wet-on-wet technique, with colors blending to create depth. The background is a bright white.
