Join the Bird Alliance of Oregon for this fun and unique online art workshop.
Unlike other owls, the Burrowing Owl is a ground dweller. They are small with long legs and are active during the day. The slightly rufous brown with white spots and yellow eyes will be a great challenge to paint with watercolor, but Ronna has some tricks up her sleeve to paint these patterns with ease. Add this class to your list to learn about this unusual owl through watercolor.
The birds will be painted from a photo which will be sent to you before the class. Students will be painting alongside Ronna online, a step-by-step process she has mastered in painting birds.
Ronna strives to build an atmosphere of learning by encouraging students to take risks, showing support and encouragement, and working alongside the class to assist in the understanding of watercolor painting.
