Feather # 176 — Barn Owl

“Creating this feather, I embraced soft earth tones like rich browns and warm tans, letting them flow into each other with gentle transitions. The delicate brushstrokes and subtle splatters express a natural grace, while the feather's simple shape and airy edges suggest a gentle ease. Through careful layering and thoughtful blending, I aimed to capture a sense of calm and harmony that feels as light as a whisper.”
