An Owlright Day!

An Owlright Day:

My take on a life in the day of an owl. Or rather, if I was an owl. 
Painted with gouache. For fun and practice! 

I found a cute little coffee shop that let me hang my owls for all to enjoy! 

Mug Commission FINISHED

 Here is the finsihed pelican I posted a WIP of a while ago.

 My aunt commissioned me to design a mug for my grandpa. He loves the ocean, lighthouses, and pelicans and I love him. I had a lot of fun designing and painting this. Painted with gouache and assembled in photoshop.

 

Sneak Peak!

Just a sneak peak of a commission I've been working on! I will post the scanned version soon.

Birds! And an update!

Hello! I have added a new tab to this blog!

 The tab Birds Before Bed links to my new tumblr I created dedicated to just my gouache birds!

I decided to start this new year off right with this new blog dedicated to painting/drawing a bird before bed!

Here are a few of the birds I liked so far from Birds Before Bed.

And here are some birds I haven't posted here yet that I did a bit ago!

 

 Thanks for taking a look!
