Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge. This week we would love for you to portray owls – or a single owl, the choice is yours. Owls are predominantly solitary and nocturnal and this could come across in your work if you wanted to add deeper meaning to your compositions. You might like to add your owl flying in a landscape, or swooping between trees.
There are a number of different species you could opt to portray, a few of which we have added below for you. All of the photos you see are copyright free, so students are more than welcome to use them.
If you are looking to create a realistic painting or drawing, perhaps you could combine a photo of an owl and place it in a different landscape or setting photo. Try to amalgamate photos to create a unique composition.
Paint, draw, sketch, or create a digital painting. However you choose to portray them, let us know how you get on and what techniques you have used. We would love to hear!
Have fun!
The idea of these challenges is to help students improve their skills by drawing, painting and creating regularly.
So try to submit work that you have created specifically for the challenge – or course work you are currently creating for your art course. Sometimes our challenge themes cross over with what students are learning. Our challenges are great practive for your coursework too!
Remember to submit your artwork to us via email if you would like it posted on our blog next week.
