Owl Landing

6x9 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper done this weekend for another WetCanvas monthly challenge; ref courtesy of the reference image library.  The owl was titled "snowy" but those don't have tan feathers under wings or on breast/legs areas.  The Eurasion eagle owl does, however.  Background on this vignette was loosely applied Periwinkle and ultramarine blue sky colors and trees were a mixed green plus sepia.  Black accent color was mixed quin burnt orange plus ultramarine blue.  My works are now available on www.dailypaintworks.com via PayPal for purchase.

Eagle or Snowy Owl

5.5x8.5 watercolor and ink (Staedtler Calligraphic 3.5mm pen) on Masters paper.  I'm not sure if this fellow is an eagle owl or a snowy owl.  I found a recent bird in the road that was dead and took photos, so this is a recreation of how he must look alive with a tree in the background.  Eyes are more yellow and not orange.  It was located on the Vealmoor highway as you turn off south to Big Spring.
