Thank you! Yes, I used a Round 4, 2, 1, and 0. I have another video that shows more about those brushes and how I use them. ua-cam.com/video/BaC9XJls3WI/v-deo.html
I'm painting on hard board, sometimes called masonite that I prime with gesso and then sand smooth. It's a great surface for getting nice fine details. I am planning on making a video in the future about how I prepare the boards for painting. And as for my brushes, I'm using a round 4, 2, 1, and 0. I have another video where I go over those things in better detail if you want to give that one a watch! ua-cam.com/video/BaC9XJls3WI/v-deo.html
I wished that you would inform us what size brush did you use exactly and what colors. I know you briefly said a couple of colors, but that was it. I know that’s a round brush, but I don’t know what size it is that the only brush that you used? I love the painting.
Thank you! And I apologize that my earlier videos didn't include colour mixing or my brushes. Most of my new videos include that and would hopefully be more helpful. For this Snowy Owl, if I remember correctly, I was using Mars Black, Raw Umber, and Titanium White - which I would make a slightly brown tinted grey. For the eyes it was Cad Yellow Medium, Yellow Ochre, White, and Raw Umber. My brushes would range from Round 3, 4 or 5 for blocking in, and anything from Round 0, 1, and 2 for the finer details. Here's a link to where I get my brushes from. willowwolfe.com/product/round/
Very generous of you to share in detail. You are truly an incredible inspirational painter - thank you for your tutorials - means the world for a late starter like me who loves painting but starting out now at 63 and enjoying every single moment of my wins trials and errors
I don't have a traceable for this owl, but I still have the outlines for it. So I'm going to look into scanning it and seeing if I can create some kind of a vector image that you can use. If you send me an email on my website, I can let know if I can come up with something. www.josephkoensgen.com/contact
I transferred it from a drawing onto a piece of tracing paper, and then onto to the board. I will sometimes draw it directly on to my painting, but this way I can move it around a bit if I'm not exactly sure where I want it, and need to balance it with other elements in the painting.
Thank you!! I don't have a patreon, but I'll be making more videos for my channel as I have time and good ideas. I hope they can be helpful in taking your painting to the next level!
I'm using 18 x 30" piece of masonite that I've primed with gesso and sanded smooth. And yes, I am in Canada! And it's always exciting when I see the Snowy Owls return in the winter!
This is a beautiful snowy owl. Thank you for this tutorial. You did a fantastic job. ❤

How do you get your canvas so smooth? Or what are you painting on? Also, what kind of brush do you use? Thanks :)

Do you have a traceable for this painting? He’s gorgeous! Thank you!

can you show how to paint background?, like trees and twigs?
I didn't film these particular branches. But some of my future videos will be about how to paint branches in the background.
@@JosephKoensgen thank you, that would be amazing
How did you do the outline of owl and black feathers?
I transferred it from a drawing onto a piece of tracing paper, and then onto to the board. I will sometimes draw it directly on to my painting, but this way I can move it around a bit if I'm not exactly sure where I want it, and need to balance it with other elements in the painting.
Love your style of painting! Trying to take my painting to the next level. Do you have a patron?
Thank you!! I don't have a patreon, but I'll be making more videos for my channel as I have time and good ideas. I hope they can be helpful in taking your painting to the next level!
What kind of brush are you using?
I'm using mostly round style brushes, and this is the brand that I like the most!
