Screech Owl

 "Screech Owl" (pastel, 8x6 inches) bid or buy

Here's the star of Saturday's Paint-Along - the Screech Owl! This one's a little different... Instead of my usual pastel primer underpainting, I used some UArt paper  that had some pastel washed in with alcohol, something I had left over from someone else's workshop months ago. I figured I'd put it to use! So instead of building an acrylic-based underpainting, I basically started with a value drawing of the owl using a black Rembrandt pastel.

Day 25 of 30 - Blackbird

Day 25 of 30 paintings in June - "Blackbird" (pastel, 6x6 inches)

I decided to paint this one directly on a gray board without a terracotta underpainting. I think it suits the values of this bird well.

See a speed video of this painting's process here!
