OWLS

Hi everyone

I love OWLS they are so beautiful, majestic and there are so many different types

This photo I found on the internet and couldn't resist using it 

How sweet are they

I put all the different Magicals from some of the sets they have 

I use little cups so that if I have some left I can let it dry and then re use what's left next time by adding a touch of water

 I gessoed the inside of the canvas and all my embellishment then chose a few colours to use on the outside of the canvas

I used a timber look stencil for the background using some impasto with some milk chocolate brown and dark  chocolate truffle from the Sweet Treats Lindy's Magicals mixed in

The leaves were done in a few different green magicals - bells of ireland green from the Prairie Wildflower Set, curiouser chartreuse from the Mad Hatter Set, shabby turbine teal and rusty lantern from the Industrial Chic Set

I used a couple of Kaiser stamps in random areas across the whole canvas

I used yellow rose of texas, peony scarlet red from the Prairie Wild Flower Set, cape cod coral from the Nantucket Pearls Set and autumn maple crimson and a little of the red hot poker orange  from the Autumn Leaves Set from the on the edge of the canvas and a little of them on the background and on some of the embellishments

The metal owl was painted with some steel shimmer from the Industrial Chic Set

I used crackle paste on the edges of the canvas with a stencil and then just spread some across the canvas 

I love how the colours I used vary in the cracks and how much texture and depth it gives

 

Thanks for visiting I hope you will come back soon xx
