This piece took a little over an hour, I think. I'm not quite sure because halfway through the power went out and it was completely dark for some time, and then I had to step away for a moment. But yeah, around an hour, not much more.
I found a reference image in an old calendar and just went for it, and had fun.
I painted the majority of the picture with watercolors and then added some detail with Prismacolor brown 005 point pen, and squeezed in a few touches with gouache.
Paper: Canson acid free mat board, off-white
Paint: St. Petersburg watercolor box set
I think I'll do more of these type of "speed paintings". It seems like a great way to use up some scrap mat board and paper :)
It's a very feline owl (: A nice speedpaint, I like the feathers especially, they look properly soft.
