In this tutorial, we will draw and paint a whimsical owl. We look at 2 prints from the renamed artist John Audubon and observe differences and similarities between the different owls. Will your owl be realistic or whimsical, from your imagination?
Learn about space and proportion, while you sketch your owl. Learn about the watercolor resist technique when coloring your owl with oil pastels and painting it with watercolors.

Materials used:
11 x 14 watercolor paper, pencil, eraser, black permanent sharpie fine point, oil pastels, watercolors, 2 paintbrushes, water, salt and a lid (to trace the moon, about 4 ½ ‘diameter).
