This was a really interesting process, culminating in a beautiful painting! You know, I really love those branches too.. they do add another point of interest without taking away from the eye. Very cool.❤
I like your crows but this is also awsome. Again youbare able to creat such great mode on your paintings...just incredible. Love seeing your process, thank you
As soon as this came up on my feed it was a 😮WOW 😮 moment, loved it from the get go……….watching you bring his face out the mist was great to watch. Such a beautiful painting Lydia, you are SO creative. ❤❤❤
I love owls. They are such fascinating creatures. My favourite is the great grey owl. I don’t know if you have them out east but here in western Canada they are common. They are these massive birds with the most intense and amazing faces.
Beautiful! I love all predators including our feathered friends. The owl is an amazing hunter of which its soft feathers plays a buge re in its success... Beautiful atmosphere, colous and majestic owl! ❤️🎨👌🏻
A lovely painting. His eye is amazing. I recently painted a Tawny frog faced owl from a photo taken by a friend. I was inspired by your previous owl painting that had a stained glass background.
This is awesome. The other night, I walked my dogs and an owl flew right over my head. This was a while ago and since then, I have only heard them. Beautiful creatures.
What a cool moment! 😊 We just got back from a day of owl photography. Not much luck until the end of the day. We saw 4 short eared owls hunting over the marsh. Pretty far away, but still awesome!😊
Ethereal owl. While watching you paint, I thought about the movie Ladyhawke. Also, remembered some owls are breeding this time of year. That adds to them being more active and more visible. I’m also having trouble with energy and motivation this time of year. I double up on the vitamin D with my health care providers blessing. Bleak, ain’t it?
Lydia , this is a beautiful piece !! I'm just curious as to why you switched to the oils , for the glazes of color ( as opposed to just glazing with thin washes of acrylics)... I love watching your processes so much .. Thx in advance , for your response.. Norakag , here 👍👍
Thank you! I switched to oils because I have a longer working time. I usually switch to oils during the refinement stage and to add detail. I love the finish of oil paint.😊
What a wonderful painting, thank you for sharing your process! I have a question: at the beginning, you put some dark blue as a base color and afterwards you used a sponge. Did you use the sponge while the blue was still wet? Is that the reason why it turned white on places that you touched the sponge? Or the blue was dried and you had white color on the sponge? I have a second question, what is the reason for using gesso on the texture paste? Thank you very much for posible answers!
Hello AstridArt3! I let the base color dry, then applied the white with a damp sponge. The texture picks up the white easily as you glide across. I add a layer of gesso to the modeling paste to add more tooth for the acrylics to adhere to. Sometimes I have found that paint lifts off of modeling paste if I'm using a lot of water, but gesso helps prevent this from happening.😊
@lydiabroderick867 Thank you very much for your answer Lydia! This made me finally order the gesso and try it as well. It is true that when I paint on the texture paste directly, then it feels like the surfave is very dry... I usually just applied enough layer of the base color to manage this... But I will give it a try with the gesso. Thank you! And regarding the sponge - I like your blue-white combination here, so I tried it on my painting as well, even if using a different motif. I am curios how it will come out after playimg with the white and the sponge tomorrow...

I would love to see a great grey owl in person someday... I've seen photos. Beautiful birds. I don't know that we have them in my region. 😊
Owls are my fav. This turned out great. Good for you getting to see some owls in real life. Enjoy.

@@lydiabroderick867 You’re so lucky :)
This is beautiful!!! do you have a full detailed tutorial of this on your Patreon?

I upped my vitamin D as well. Bleak indeed. I don't think I've ever seen the movie Ladyhawke. I'm curious now. I'll check it out.😊

@ thx so much for the response .. i'm always curious about the choices each artist makes .. 👍👍Norakag
Love the mysterious icycle owl, and love your crow paintings too. What do you think of the oil paint you can use with water, have you tried them ?
Thank you! I have a set, but I have yet to try them out. Do you use them?
@@lydiabroderick867Yes I have them and its a lot easier clean up but something is not quite the same as real oil paint.
What a wonderful painting, thank you for sharing your process! I have a question: at the beginning, you put some dark blue as a base color and afterwards you used a sponge.

Can you do a video on painting light? 🩵
Oh they’re branches? My brain read them as cracks in the painting 😅 cool either way
I was seeing faces in the texture on the left side. Kinda weird
