It was the perfect sping day today, and since I haven`t been in
Nymphenburg park for ages, I drove there in the morning and the only Owl
I found first, was one of the pair close to Pagodenburg. My first ever
study from life using Acryla Gouache.On my way back to the car I met a
couple of photographers who led me to an other Owl, a new one of the
Reddish phase posing and enjoying the sunshine. The setting was
excellent, but sadly I didn`t have enough time, so I decided to make a
monochromatic study, and promised to myself to go back for a coloured version soon.
..The Thylacine is a legendary species which lived in Australia and Tasmania and seems that is already extinct, since there is no credible evidence that the animal still exist for decades now. Attached, my efforts to depict the animal, starting with the initial pencil drawing , and showing the process step by step to the finished pen drawing. Eventually , I noticed several mistakes on his anatomy, decided to revise the image, started a couple of watercolours, and managed to complete at least one . Forgot to mention that videos taken in Hobart zoo( Tasmania) in the 30`s of last century have been a great help while creating my image. The finished watercolour , I managed eventually to complete
