Watercolor Owl Painting Demonstration

[@cheryl6716]

This is probably my favorite watercolor painting done by anyone, ever! Your skill and talent is astonishing and you are a true master at your profession. It's hard to believe that you can do a watercolor painting that looks like an actual photograph. You are an amazing artist Maria.

[@ar3125]

the colours are too good and vibrant...in these type of paintings i usually see artists merging up the colour and getting a messy painting but you balanced the colours and that's the result-FANTASTIC.....KEEP IT UP.GOD BLESS YOU

[@mariamorjane]

aww thank you Aarohi :) that's really sweet of you, feeling flattered again... God Bless!

[@lindamullahy5752]

Maria you are very gifted and talented artist also love the owl watercolour painting. God bless you always.

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you so much Linda 🤗💕☺️God Bless you!

[@maryanharrell5642]

Maria, this owl is spectacular! I know how hard they are to paint. I plan to watch it again and take notes on your colors. You can see that I have been painting barred owls, but I have yet to paint a great horned owl! Wow!

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you Maryan :) and have fun painting!! Your owl in the icon looks great😃🌺🤗

[@shobhavig5388]

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you very much for your positive feedback xx

[@someonenew7292]

Stunning. You make it look too easy. :)

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you so much :)

[@someonenew7292]

My youngest daughter loves, adores and collects owl art - so, I have until she and her hunny finish the repairs on their first home purchase 'adventure'. * Don't ask ;) I think I have until mid summer to make a watercolor that doesn't look rabid! I have a few sketches & some colored pencil and watercolor practices done; we'll see how many 'final' pieces it takes :)

[@mariamorjane]

That's awesome :) I hope you get to paint this owl! Owls are one of my favorites too xx

[@xVadRay]

[@alexbeury579]

Wow! another amazing piece! Love it!

[@mariamorjane]

thank you Alex :)

[@alexbeury579]

Question: do you usually tend to use a smaller brush? or does it depend on the subject? Also, what do you use for reference? :)

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Alex, it depends, and sometimes I go for the entire painting with one brush.. like a small round one, then angular, it depends on a subject, thanks

Maria, how beautiful!!! Is it possible to draw on paper A5?

[@mariamorjane]

Hi :) thank you so much!! you can paint on any size paper you wish but in my opinion it should always be a watercolor paper when painting with watercolors.

[@candykelly2705]

Will Ox Gall do the same as Gum Arabic? As always, this is beautiful.

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Candy, thank you!! Gum arabic is very different from Ox Gall, Ox Gall enhances your wet onto wet techniques... it spreads the paint faster... it makes it "thinner" it's very different.. where gum arabic helps you control paint more, it becomes a bit thicker.. most watercolors are made with gum arabic so it's like you would be adding more. It also adds shine to your painting and you can make your watercolors more transparent.

[@Canal-qm4qb]

Hi María amazing work, did you have to wait for the paint to dry to keep painting? How long did it take you to do it?

[@mariamorjane]

thank you so much Juan, this painting took me maybe 1hr20min.. I keep working around so I don't have to wait until my paper fully dries.. just jumping from one area to another :)

[@zahoorhaq808]

maria can you please tell me which brushes are necessary for a painting????????

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Zahoor, I have written the whole blog just on watercolor brushes :) please go to my website www.mariamorjane.com and click on a blog :))

[@nelsongamurot7606]

Can we substitute tylose powder instead of gum arabic.

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Nelson, I am sorry but I am not familiar with Tylose powder :(

[@sarahcheung686]

i plan to paint this one in the following days, but i do not have gum arabic, what i supposed to do to make the eyes transparent?

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Sarah, I basically used gum arabic to make the eyes more shiny :) if you want the colors to be more transparent just add more water.

[@sarahcheung686]

thank you so much for quickly reply:-)) i will try water.

[@mariamorjane]

your very welcome :))

[@giuseppefarabone5621]

Sei fantastica mi incanti sempre ! Usi arches liscio o ruvido.

[@lucettehenley6746]

Très intéressant mais je ne comprend pas la lanque dit moi à t il une solution pour traduire en français Merci

[@mariamorjane]

Salut Celeste, je suis désolé pour ça ... il y a une option pour traduire des vidéos en français mais quelqu'un doit physiquement le faire ... peut-être qu'il y a une application qui se traduit tout de suite? la chose est que vous pouvez ajouter des sous-titres aux voix off mais la plupart de mes vidéos n'ont pas de voix off ... Je suis vraiment désolé, je vais essayer de google moi-même xx

[@prettynatta7655]

Thats look real

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you very much☺️

Is it just me or that the beak itself @ 4:18 looks like a bird..😂😂

[@tienat2012]

tuyệt vời... 😍😍😍

[@mariamorjane]

🌸😃🌹💕

[@nicola.p]

I love how you use the white near the end for adding highlights over dark. I get so fed of purists preaching that you shouldn't use white in watercolours. I much prefer to work in layers like you do and to add light over dark.

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you Nicola, I totally agree.. Art is art, art is freedom, there's no rules in Art that's why it's called ART💖☺️💕 I appreciate your positive feedback :)

[@josianeholbe]

bonsoir Maria , c est une chouette ou un hibou? car si c est un hibou , c est vachement chouette!!! comme on dit en France! non! mais sincerement, c est fabuleux , car ce doit pas etre facile a peindre!!!!!!

[@mariamorjane]

Bonjour Josiane, merci beaucoup. C'est un hibou haha ​​ce n'est en fait pas si difficile à peindre parce que j'ai commencé à le peindre dans un style différent. Je suis passé de l'obscurité à la lumière et c'est là que j'ai mélangé de la gouache blanche avec d'autres aquarelles pour ajouter l'opacité aux plumes.☺️😀🌺😃

[@sonaluvsrandomstuffs4196]

wow its so gorgeous owl!!😍😍 its like its a real owl!!!🌸🌸 I love it especially his eyes so big and beautiful!!!💕😘😘 well I love how you draw the furs!!😆😆 well its all I wanna say I feel a little bit down because of fever😷 so I just watch the video😷😷 its so relaxing and refreshing!!😍😍💕 well I don't wanna comment too because my fingers are hurting😞😢 and I feel a bit of faint😵 but its an outstanding video so I just couldn't control myself and comment!!😄😄 so all I wanna say is I love it!!😍😘💕 🌸💥have a sweet day!!💥🌸
