Art Connection - Tuesday 23rd April 2024

Week 100 - Owl in Acrylic Paints

Hello Everyone

Glad to be back after having had to cancel the last few weeks. Hope you will join me online this week for some art ?

We meet every Tuesday morning from 11am to 12.15/12.30pm to draw/paint together. No experience needed. Complete beginners are very welcome.

Isaiah 34: 15-17

The owl will nest there and lay eggs, she will hatch them, and care for her young under the shadow of her wings; there also the falcons will gather, each with its mate.

16 Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate. For it is his mouth that has given the order, and his Spirit will gather them together.
17 He allots their portions; his hand distributes them by measure.They will possess it forever and dwell there from generation to generation.

This week we'll paint an owl (in the style of Tamara Laporte) using Acrylic paints. Check out Tamara's tutorial 'Grumpy Owl' video on Facebook for colourful inspiration

If you are able to print out the image to have it beside you whilst drawing, hopefully you'll find this helpful on the day. Otherwise, you can perhaps view it on your phone as this will allow you to zoom in on the detail also ?
