My finished painting for my art trade with @paulmediterraneum.bsky.social ! Our prompt was animals and a spooky mood.

I did a tawny #owl (kattuggla) and based it off a beautiful stock photo by Stanislav Duben.

A tawny owl, mid-landing, is sketched in bright green with watercolors and colored pencils. The background is a mix of blue, purple, and magenta and is made with gouache.

Color out of space

inspired by the Lovecraft story

Ink and watercolor on paper A4

maybe using some pearlescent medium would have been nicer

#art #traditionalart #painting #traditionalpainting #watercolor #ink #lovecraft

Painting of two rocky tall mountains rising above the fog. Warm clear sunset sky. The mountains have unnatural colors , as if not from this world. Some white light spirals from the fog up the mountains and shoot straight to the sky..
