Hi everyone, Mou from Color Happy Creations here today with a tutorial to create a not-too-scary Halloween Owl!
Recently, I came across this fun Halloween quote on Pinterest:
"A Great Big Owl in a great big tree, On a night so dark, you could hardly see, Was watching the lights in the deep ravine, Where the witches danced on Halloween."
It inspired me to alter this chipboard owl I found in the children's craft section at Michaels using our Gelatos® color of the week, Cinnamon. Let me show you the steps.
Use Faber-Castell® Design Memory Craft® Gel Medium to attach the parts to the owl as shown.
Prime the slick surface of the owl with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gesso to receive colors better.
Color the ears, wings and belly with Cinnamon Gelatos®. Blend colors with a slightly wet brush.
Color around the eyes and the feet with Caramel Gelatos®.
Color the body and below the ears black using Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Chalkboard Paint.
Sketch some details on the owl with pencil. Color around the eyes with Gelatos® Iced Coffee.
Accentuate the details with a Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft PITT® Artist pen.
Lay the leaf pattern stencil from the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft 102 Stencil Collection on the owl's belly and apply Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Whipped Spackle with a palette knife. Remove stencil immediately and let the medium dry on the owl.
Add some white specks to the owl's body with Gesso and a paint brush.
Here's a close-up of my owl.
I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial and that this project inspires you to create handmade decor′ this Halloween.
