Barn Owl Paintings

I am working on Barn Owl paintings this week, one of my favourite birds to paint. Check my ‘Originals’ page to see this gentleman when he is finished!

So far, I have been building up the layers quite slowly, next step is the darker feathers and a little more shading and detail.

New Barn Owl Paintings

I enjoy creating paintings of Barn Owls so much, I decided to make a couple more, they are such beautiful birds, and quite haunting too!

I am creating this piece on a textured ground, as I love painting over a ‘bumpy’ surface, the textured effect of the finished painting. This piece will have the effect of the owl emerging from the dark, the second piece is similar, with the addition of a starry sky.

My new Tawny Owl painting

Tawny Owl

This Tawny Owl painting is the latest addition to my collection, and I must say, owls are one of my favourite subjects to paint. Their unique features and mysterious aura make for a captivating piece of art. Take a closer look and see for yourself! I have used deep teal and sage green for the background of this painting. I still need to add a couple of details and blend areas. I will hang the painting up on the wall at home for a while until he is dry enough to add the final tweaks.

Update* This owl painting is now sold, I have some newly released bird pieces on the website here.
