Ernesto the Owl

I used an H pencil to trace Ernesto.
When using watercolors, it’s all about layering colors. So fun!!

I am happy to introduce to you all “Ernesto the Owl.”
I’m currently using watercolor pencils to create this cutie pie. I hope to share my progress with you all daily.

I’m debating on whether to change the background. Stay tuned.

Owlet Watercolor Painting

I’m almost finished with this adorable owlet watercolor painting. Owls are my all-time favorite birds and a frequent subject of my art pieces. Owls are beautiful and mysterious looking birds. I adore them so much.

I am a beginner watercolorist and have been enjoying practicing. I feel that I’m getting better every day. As they say, “Practice makes Perfect!” I try to paint every day for at least an hour or more.

Lately, I have been trying out watercolor pencils and sticks, and my latest is my new watercolor Sketchers’ Pocket Box from this fantastic company, Winsor and Newton. They have some superb quality watercolor paints. I highly recommend them.

I can’t wait to see how much I’ve improved a year from now.

Oliver the Owl was relaxing on his favorite tree branch when suddenly, an adorable ladybug appeared to visit him. They admired each other and eventually became great friends.

Drawing Llamas

I am now working on my llama skills. I think llamas are so adorable. I love their big, beautiful eyes and long necks.

Interesting Facts about Llamas:

  • Llamas have an excellent sense of smell, hearing, and eyesight.
  • Llamas are expressive animals. If they are unhappy with another llama, they will stick their tongue out or spit on them. 
  • Llamas are similar to camels in that they can survive for weeks without water because they collect moisture from their food.
  • Llamas manure is almost odorless. Wow!
  • Llamas can live to be 20 years old.

The digital version of Oliver, in progress.

Introducing my newest owl. His name is Oliver.

I created him on paper first, and now I’m creating him digitally. That way I am able to offer this piece of art on a variety of products, via Product on Demand websites.

Oliver will be #10 of my Wildlife Series. I’ll be sure to post here, once he is available for purchase.

Have a wonderful week, everyone!
