Just experimenting with the palette knives and a white owl :) what a combination! I think the owl needs just some more contrast in the wings, but the background is another big problem. If I look at the painting, a white background is not ' weird ' or something, but to plain, if you know what I mean..
At the moment I'm making the underground for the background, with kings blue. When I put white on it again with the knives it's maybe a cool effect. I will also start with a new layer on the head inlcuding the eyeballs :) now it's only some shadow
