Owl study

£800.00

The Barn owl flying art study captures the delicate grace and silent motion of this nocturnal bird, combining detailed observation with expressive techniques. Early beginnings of mixed media are evident in the layering of pencil sketches with subtle washes of watercolour and faint ink outlines. This approach not only emphasises the owl’s ghostly presence in flight but also explores the interplay between form and transparency, bringing a dynamic and evocative quality to the work. The study serves as a foundational exploration of movement and materiality, reflecting a thoughtful blend of naturalistic detail and artistic experimentation.

30 × 40 cm. Canvas board.
