  • VIDEO DESCRIPTION - This painting tutorial will take you through easy to follow, step-by-step instructions on how to paint this stunning realistic animal portrait of "NIGHT OWL" with a fierce stare and colorful camouflage feathers. You’ll learn how to paint this rendition of a nocturnal large great horned owl as he watches over the nighttime activities with a glazed gaze. Learn how to use simple drawing and painting techniques to create good proportions and realistic dimension in the feathers, beak and eye creating a beautiful bird that symbolizes wisdom, intuition, supernatural power, independent thinking, and observant listening. You can personalize the background to look like a forest, or the sky, maybe you can put some autumn leaves around the canvas to give it a fall feel, or snow for a winter landscape. Perhaps you want to have him sitting in a tree on a large branch. You'll learn how to layer and blend the paint to create depth in the eye and texture in the feathers, which will provide a photo realistic quality allowing for the feathers and beak to have a 3d affect and to look like they are popping right out of the canvas. Let this amazing bird be the focal point and have a mysterious look as he fades into the shadows of the night. Let the colors be natural with vibrant hues using carefree paint strokes. The portrait of this feathered friend will come to life with the captivating look on his face that will draw you in. The complimentary colors will bring cohesion and harmony, creating a symphony of warm colours and good balance throughout the composition. Influenced by the illusive nature these wise creatures possess, this painting becomes a dramatic symbol of new beginning and transformation. This painting will be fun to create and you will learn some valuable lessons along the way on how to create an expressive image that is charming and seductive. Using only 2 brushes and 6 colors we'll create this conversational masterpiece that is sure to compliment any décor. So let's get painting and let's get sipping!

    Michelle, I want to thank you for this! I was camping with my sister this summer and I spotted some movement in a tree as we sat by the campfire. Hiding up in a tree was a beautiful owl, we shined a flash light on it briefly (it didn't seem to mind) and could see about half the bird just as in this picture. I working on the eye now and will finish it for a present for my sister this holiday season! I could never paint any thing like this without you!

J ‘ ai regardé les reportages sur les attentats du WTC et j ‘ ai eu des larmes aux yeux en voyant les souffrances des gens qui ont vécu ce drame ou qui ont perdu des proches. Je me souviens très bien où j’ étais et ce que je faisais à ce terrible moment. Mais , nous avons ce formidable médium qu ‘ est la peinture pour nous changer quelque peu nos idées négatives et surtout nous vous avons ,vous , chère Michelle! Santé 🥂
