How to Paint a Realistic Barn Owl | Complete Watercolor Workshop Video

From an actual in-person watercolor workshop where I taught people how to paint a barn owl - including students who had never picked up a brush before. They all ended up with paintings they loved.

Here's what's included:

Over 1 hour of uncut workshop footage. You get the real process - not a polished YouTube highlight reel. You see every step, hear actual student questions, and watch how I answer them in real time. That's where the real learning happens.

What I'm teaching:

• Wet on wet techniques for soft, realistic feathers and a loose background

• Splatter and dry brush techniques to add texture and depth

• Lifting out paint to create highlights and dimension

• How to draw your guide with tips and tricks you can apply to any subject you want to paint

Who this is for:

Beginners with zero experience? Yes. Experienced painters? Also yes. This workshop was designed for mixed skill levels, and everyone walked away with a painting they were proud of. If you've been intimidated by painting birds or realistic subjects, this will change that.

What makes this different:

This isn't a polished, edited-down tutorial. It's a real workshop. You see the process, the questions, the thinking. You get to learn the way people actually learn - by watching someone work and asking questions.

This is from a workshop I taught on painting Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock - one of the most iconic coastal scenes. We covered wet on wet, wet on dry, layering, lifting out paint, dry brushing, and reflection. Some students were brand new and they all created paintings they were proud of.

Learn how to incorporate pen and ink with your watercolor without outlining EVERY single line. This workshop is all about the art of suggestion when it comes to ink and watercolor. We will cover wet on wet, lifting out paint, adding texture, and building layers.
