Barn Owl Pillows

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.

Did you know a barn owl's ears are lop-sided, with one higher than the other, to help them pinpoint the exact location of even the slightest sound? Show your love for these nocturnal birds without the worry of it keeping you awake at night.

Every Tyto you can think of! From the left: albino, leucistic, common, grass, melanistic, masked, and sooty.
