In this first project we will be using a grey toned paper as it’s a little simpler to work with than black paper.
I also go over the supplies we’ll be using for this lesson and why I chose the owl and what I want to represent with this painting.
Please feel free to paint whatever spirit animal you are called to create today. It’s so important to stay open to the magic and follow the whispers of your own heart.
Here is the reference photo I used for the owl’s body, which you can download below:
Part one: supplies & sketching
Now that we have an idea of our how we will place her we can begin adding the oil pastel!
