Snowy Owl Nyctea scandiaca Bird of Prey Watercolour Painting
Watercolour on Paper 1993 4 x 6 ins private collection
Available as a postcard on Amazon and Ebay
A watercolour Bird painting of a Snowy Owl using a Photograph taken at London Zoo on an Art college trip as reference material.
Painting Technique: The Snowy Owl and the tree stump were protected with Art Masking Fluid (available from any art store) to keep them clean while the background was painted by dabbing on Watercolour Paint using a small piece of natural sponge.
Then the dried rubbery masking fluid was peeled off and the details painted in using a fine Sable Paint Brush. No white Paint was used in this Bird of Prey Painting. All the lighter areas are the Watercolour Paper itself.
Snowy Owl Fact: Snowy owls are steadily spreading across Europe and are reported to be now successfully breeding in the UK.
