This is a new painting of a Tawny Owl (European). I love the warm sienna and gold colors of these owls… one of aspects that attracted me to begin this painting. I set the area surrounding area with lush moss to compliment the rust shades in the bird. ….looking forward to the progression of this painting.
These are absolutely brilliant, you are really good! :) What do you do after this sepia stage? I would love to see a step by step on what you do for birds. Do you have any photos of the different stages of a bird painting?
