5th Lesson - Owl

Now that we have covered the owl with all the different tones of orange and roughly painted in where the markings go, we'll start again on the one spot with a fine brush.  You might want to use a bit of Liquin or turps to get those fine lines.  I started from the eye over the beak with a darker mix of purple first, then went over it again with a mix of Yellow Ochre, Red Gold and plenty of white.  Make sure the feathers are separated by the shadowy purple colour to create depth.  This is a bit tedious, as we are using a fine brush and brushing very lightly over the dark beak.  We might add extra highlights when it is dry.
