“In this watercolor feather inspired by the Screech Owl, I've used the handmade pigment Rocky Mountain #5 to create soft transitions from earthy browns to gentle grays. The brushstrokes capture the delicate texture of the feather, with layered edges giving it depth. I incorporated splatters and drips for a natural feel, while the form dances gracefully against the white background, inviting calmness and appreciation for the beauty of nature. Its simplicity and elegance bring a sense of serenity and respect for the natural world.”
