I added another layer of masking - adding leaf shapes, flower "dots" and grass shapes at the bottom.
I glazed the background with yellow. I added white gouache to add highlights as well as scrubbing to get highlights. I added more dark feather shapes to the rooster. I painted the eye and added detail arond the eye and beak areas. I added more red as well. He is getting there.
I glazed greens and yellow on the background and on the stem, leaves, and buds. I glazed some yellow and a tiny bit of green on part of the flower. I started to add detail to the top left bud with green and a tiny bit of red.
