Barn Owl (Tyto alba)

similar but not the same, but they love each other

Tyto Alba, or the Barn Owl, is a beautiful and majestic nocturnal bird. Enjoy this stylized and elegant design!

This is my second owl watercolour piece after enjoying working on the first so much. For whatever reason they translate really well to paintings. This time I worked on a barn owl, there's a lot less detail in these types as opposed to the spotted eagle owl, so I tried out a new background technique to help the animal stand out more. I think this piece has a fantasy based quality to it, mixing the subject matter and the background, it wasn't my initial aim, but I do like the end result.

In many cultures, barn owls symbolise wisdom, magic, and knowledge of what others cannot see. The Barn Owl's silent flight ensures her a swift and successful hunt. I really enjoyed painting this Owl in a loose, soft and expressive watercolour style - with fine detail on the face to draw the viewer in, and softness of wing feathers to create the sense of flight. Painted from my own reference photo, this Barn Owl is a truly original design.
