New Tawny owl life study


This is the Tawny owl life study from today morning. Never seen this individual before, a pretty cooperative fellow! Painted using gouache colours, a solely brush study without preliminary pencil drawing

Just love this study too! Very delicate handling of the owl's plumage - especially well done in watercolor. And I also love the way you painted the claws of the one foot just visible in the lower part of the painting - it is attention to smaller details like this that gives authenticity to the work - stunning!

Thylacine painting

Extinct animals and birds are still among my favorites, and the Tasmanian tiger is surely one of them. I did start one more painting depicting the animal and though I was pleased with the background the tiger seemed to be very big for the size, with wrong proportions and facial expression. I decided to remove the tiger and repainted it over the background but much smaller. Surely not my best attempt but I know that I`ll be able to create a much better painting one day.
