Watercolor Tawny Owl Painting Tutorial: Step-by-Step Art Lesson (PDF Download)

Learn to paint this Tawny Owl. You will learn how to create a mottled, but blended out background and will then move on to using a very fine 00 brush to apply the details to the eyes, beak and feathers. We will use a range of techniques and gradually build the level of detail to create a realistic painting. We will finish off by adding the tree.

This is an instant PDF download, you could start painting this Tawny Owl in a matter of minutes, you don’t even need to wait for the post to arrive! You will receive a 34 page PDF document which is set out in the same way as the tutorials I write for magazines, but you get lots more whole page width photos of the different stages.

Go on, give it a go this Tawny Owl just peeped out to see if you would paint him (or her)!

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

I really like to focus on the watercolour techniques needed to create a realistic painting. Likewise I love sharing this style of painting through my tutorials and hope I inspire others to create detailed wildlife portraits too.

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.
