Eagle Owl PDF

Description

This is a digital download packed full of written and photographic instruction – why not learn to paint an Eagle Owl today?

The Eagle Owl is the largest species of owl in the world. They live in mainland Europe, but particularly around Scandinavian countries. This is a woodland dwelling bird, which hunts mice, voles, rats, rabbits and even small deer. Back in the eighteenth century, these owls were seen in Britain, but were hunted to extinction. A few are now being seen here once again, and it is thought there could be 12 – 40 pairs – so keep your eyes peeled!

This is an advanced project with a huge amount of detail, all created with a range of techniques. A lot of the feather patterns are quite repetitive, so once you’ve mastered the technique it is just a case of practising it, and repeating it many times over. Be prepared to tweak your colour mixes as you work, as there are subtle changes throughout the bird’s plumage. If you are a relative beginner, why not paint the stunning eyes, or perhaps work on an individual tail feather. These will give you confidence for tackling the whole painting when you have a bit more experience under your belt.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this Eagle Owl in a matter of minutes. You don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 42-page PDF document. Set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines. However, you get lots more large photos of the different stages.

Downloadable lessons enable you to work at your own speed, you can dip in and out of the content, you can spend time studying the fine details and practise the various techniques as often as you like.

Have fun with this lesson, take your time and let me know how you get on. Try printing off the last few pages which have the larger versions of the step-by-step photos for additional help.
