Some fun with mixed media. The background is acrylic and chalk on paper. I used this tutorial on making a starry background on paper. The additional blending in of chalk gave it a more "galaxy" feel. The owl was a color page image I've had for a long time. I believe it was from a Dover Publications sampler that they frequently send in their e-newsletters (if I am mistaken, please correct me). While coloring the owl, I was unsure about what color to make the eyes and some of the plumage on its chest. Rather than forcing a color, I cut those pieces out and put aluminum behind them for an interesting and shiny effect, though it is hard to capture in a photograph or scan.
