The Silence of the Tundra - Snowy Owl Material
 Let yourself be enveloped by the arctic mystery and silent wisdom of this unique work, which combines the fluidity of watercolor with the tactile texture of gouache.
 The Snowy Owl, a regal predator, is portrayed in a style that highlights its winter plumage.
 Its coat, rendered in a pure, dense, pure white, is interrupted only by light dark bars and shadows that reveal the shapes.
 Her yellow-amber eyes are the focus of the composition, capturing attention with a watchful and penetrating gaze.
 The surrounding environment blends in cool tones of Ice Blue, Indigo and Snow Grey.

 .
 This is not a simple representation, but the result of a skillful mixed technique that exploits the best of two worlds:

 
 Watercolor: Used to create transparency, fluidity and an ethereal feel to the background.
 
 White Gouache: Applied to build highlights and plumage. This opaque medium gives the winter feathers the texture and density they need, which would not be possible with watercolor alone.

 The result is a work of great depth and three-dimensionality, where the owl emerges from the cold with a surprising physical presence.
 Your space will gain in mystery, glacial elegance and a sense of profound calm, thanks to the mastery of light and texture.
