Juliette Crane is also running How To Paint An Owl courses in person at Artfest 2012.
“A lot of people seem to come up to a blank canvas and not know what to paint. They get stuck. It happened to me all of the time. And then I realized the characters I paint and the layers I create follow a pattern. I’ll share this pattern with you step by step, starting with the drawing template I use to create my own owl characters, breaking them down into simple lines and shapes, so you can easily create your own!
We’ll go through my painting process layer by layer-beginning with backgrounds, painting our owls, adding embellishments, and creating scene. And I’ll share with you all of the tricks I’ve learned along the way too-what supplies work best, how to make everything fit together, and ways to really make your character and background pop!
We’ll play with all sorts of art supplies (acrylics, pastels, ink and GLITTER!) along with vintage wallpaper, origami paper, sheet music, and journal pages. Feel free to add anything that’s meaningful to you too! I’ve used a copy of the lease to my first apartment, old photos, and pages from my favorite books!
By the time you’re finished you’ll have a gorgeous owl to take home with you and the painting template to get you started again and again! This workshop is intended for anyone and everyone! My intention is to give you a place to begin so that your imagination can wander! Come spend the day at play! I can’t wait to see the amazing owls you create!”
