#104 – Angel

This is a unique piece from me as it is one of the few paintings completed with white lines instead of black. The owl has a strong sense of peace and calm about its expression, and this softness is mirrored in its delicate figure and the titan cream colours of its plumage. The colour palate used for this painting is soft and comforting. The background is mottled and calm, lending focus to the owl. Possibly the most captivating part of the painting is the contrasting charcoal black colour of the owl’s eyes. For any pieces including white details, I prefers to use titanium white paint because of its striking hyper white pigment, which is milky and very opaque.
