This painting shows a close-up of an owl’s face. The feathers are white and fluffy, with soft strokes that make them look almost furry. The owl’s eyes are wide open, staring straight ahead, and its beak is sharp and pointed. The artist used a dark background to make the owl stand out. The paint looks smooth and slightly fuzzy, like it was applied with care. Try looking up gouache to see how this medium works.
