ART EXPLOSION WEEK 80: Theme SPIRIT ANIMAL. My entry.
Hello!
Today I want to participate in one of my favorite incentive contests - ART EXPLOSION, hosted by @juliakponsford.
Now week 80 of this contest is already underway. The last time I participated in week 48 ... I missed a lot)))
So this week's theme is animal spirit.
In the main characters of the art, I chose the image of an owl. I think this animal is endowed with spirit and something mystical is present in it.
See how it looks at you? Strict and attentive, like a very serious teacher.
After the contest, I will draw a tasty mouse or snake for her so that the owl becomes kinder and more affectionate. In the meantime, let it be so mysterious.
So, here is my full size entry:
The background glitters a little ... sorry, I could not wait. until i will dry))
And now the process of how the spirit of an owl was created)
It all started with a pencil drawing. The pencil was not there, so I draw with a liner.
Next, I took out my favorite watercolor. I really wanted to draw an owl with markers, but still, the watercolor technique suits the task of the contest better.
I tried in what color scheme to paint an owl and background
.. and how to add more mysticism to the work ....
And then - EYES!
In each work, I consider the eyes - the main object. I try to draw them right away in order to already understand who I'm dealing with :))) As long as the object has no eyes, it's just paper. When the eyes appear, I already draw alive object.
A few details ... streaks, spray .. and the picture is ready)
I hope you like it!
I love owls! (partly because I just like raptors in general)
I guess it does look a bit like a strict teacher XD I always think they just look very intense and attentive.
Love how you cropped the thumbnail too, good enough to be a piece on its own :)
Thanks!
When I was little, I tried to sleep early at night. Because I was sure that an owl flies in at night and looks angrily at everyone who is still awake. :))
That is too cute XD
Great looking painting, and I'm not just saying that because it resembles me at 9:05am on a Monday morning...Lol.
Hahaha))) yes, yes, on Monday morning, very many people look mystical. Especially those who have been very active Sunday )))
Mystical is a nice way of describing my look and attitude come Monday morning at work. I like it. 🤣

I just missed the payout for the post, so won't vote on it, but this is a great piece! Owls are incredible creatures. They look blocky and cludgy, but are very nimble and great hunters. Awesome piece!
Too late to vote, but I can still tip!
