Day 6 in my 10-day watercolor a day journal. I decided to try something different. This painting was NOT done in 1/2 an hour. More like two hours.
My husband loves it when I do paintings of critturs, so I decided to do an owl. And I ended up fussing with it. Ah well.
This was painted with a limited palette -- Quiller Permanent Orange and Ultramarine Blue, Qor Quinacridone Gold and Winsor & Newton Raw Sienna. Orange and Blue mixed together give you a range of umbers, so most of the bird was painted with those two colors. I just used different concentrations of each to get varying tones.

I love your owl! It's all in the eyes.

DeleteI can see why your hubby wants you to do animals. The owl is outstanding, especially the eyes. He just looks so intense.
