I have to say, painting this little owl was one of the most fun paintings I’ve ever created.
This is one of the Dream Owl projects I share from start to finish in HOW TO PAINT AN OWL 2.

Sometimes it’s just so lovely when a painting falls right into place. And with this piece, from the beginning, I knew it would be an owl at night.
To create this piece, I started with layers of painted pages for my background.
Then I added all sorts of collage papers, acrylic paints, and inks.
I imagine this owl as having never been in flight, but dreaming, day and night, about what it might be like… in preparing for the real thing. And from there, this owl got its name and story…

Lately I’ve been going back to painting owls. For awhile I had been creating these very renaissance-style portraits with soft, realistic faces and incredible hair. I enjoyed that I could make them look very human, but still full of magic and color. While I still adore creating these flower girls, I found that these paintings were missing something. After countless attempts in the studio, many... Continue reading
