Cozy day painting Hadwig the owl from Hogwarts  

I found it fascinating to learn that Hadwig is a girl and named after Saint Hadwig, the patron Saint of orphans. Given that Harry Potter is an orphan, I find this so sweet that he has Hadwig to look over him.
I hope you enjoy it :) I apologise in advance if my breathing is loud...the camera is right next to my face and picks up all the noises I make - I hold my breath when trying to get fine detail and then gasp for air.
I used a grey/blue mix for the base washes and shadowing. It was my first time attempting to paint a white bird. I used my knowledge of painting white flowers - I think it worked rather well.
On a side note, I really would love to explore making my own shopping list pads with my art printed on them. Mostly because I really need a new grocery list pad. So, I thought "why not make my own"...what could go wrong.
