Drawing on paper
Signed on the front.
A detailed sketch of a female Powerful Owl - based on a bird in my local area whom I've known & photographed over several years.
The drawing is on tinted paper (proper art paper, acid-free), which makes the white highlights in the feathers really stand out, and the dark tones recede. The face, eyes, beak and head feathers are exquisitely detailed with fine ink pen lines and pencil shading.
It is a sketch mainly of the owl's face and upper body, and in the background are loose diagonal pencil lines, their colour hinting at a bushland forest background.
