Description
I painted this owl for my grandma for christmas she loves owls.It took me a couple hours i guess through a course of 3 days.
I did use a reference picture.
I sketched it first then painted it using acrylic.
I never really took a class (don't count art class it doesn't teach you that good) or bought a book really on how to paint so any tips on improving my painting skills is welcomed.

I would suggest a bit more consistency with the shading, specifically those branches in the bottom left corner that don't seem to fit with the rest of the picture.
Also, that random branch in the top right corner isn't really nessecery to the piece. It hasn't come out as sharp as the rest as well, so I would have painted over it.
The sky might need to be darkened a bit as well. Owls are nighttime creatures so a light sky doesn't really suit them.
Still, I love the eyes! A bit mismatched, but they really pop out of the picture.
