Birds are an excellent source of inspiration and a joy to paint. With large eyes and a heart shaped face, the Barn Owl’s subtle beauty is the perfect subject for a watercolor painting. In this online class, we will focus on the detail of the eyes and loose brushstrokes for the feathers. Your instructor, Ronna Fujisawa of Salty Water Art, will be your guide through the step-by-step process of painting the inspirational Barn Owl.

No prior watercolor experience is necessary for enjoying this tutorial. To prepare for the class, students will use carbon paper and the image below to create outlines of the birds on watercolor paper. Students can paint along with Ronna during this live class or work later at their own pace with access to the recording of the online lesson.
