| How To Paint An Owl Workshop, at the Glitter Workshop, February 5, 2011. |
i can hardly say just how proud i am of this photo.
this is my latest graduating class from my How To Paint An Owl Workshop! And i just love seeing these smiling faces and all of their incredible owls!
it all starts with these painted backgrounds on wood that i prepare beforehand.
(i was really very nervous.)
then i brought all of my studio supplies in to share – vintage wallpaper books, origami paper, sheet music, pens, ink, pastels and lots and lots of glitter!
i’m always quite amazed i can get any words out. high school speech class used to be the most terrifying thing,
but once everyone starts laughing and creating…
and i see everyone painting…
i just want to paint too!
this is the beginning of my little owl.
i just love seeing everyone’s owls! each one is always so unique and always such a reflection of the artist!
we always have such an amazing time! and i am so happy to have met so many fabulous people! and for them to have shared their day with me!

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
