Painting - Virtual Canvas
Description
I love all birds of prey but Owls are particularly dear to me. This little one caught my eye and I had to paint her!
A lot of people have asked what does "virtual canvas" mean?
Virtual canvas means the piece is painted start to finish on the computer using an art program, in this case Corel Painter 11. For "Hoot" I took several reference photos of this little owl using the sport setting on my camera. I used those for color reference, expression etc--as traditional artists often do--but I painted on a blank virtual "canvas" on my PC with a wacom tablet and pen tool.
Its a little different from photo manipulation which starts with a photo and ends up with a manipulation of that photo. With a virtual canvas, the artist uses the photo as reference only, and paints what they see.

She's beautiful! Your painting makes me want to reach out and pet her.

Thanks! She did eventually return to the wild. She was an orphan blown out of her nest too soon by a storm. Fortunately, an experienced wild life rehab. was able to rescue her.

Thank you, Nan :) Virtual canvas means its painted start to finish with a computer program..in this case Corel Painter 11. As mentioned, I took several reference photos of this little owl using the sport setting on my camera. I use those for color reference, expression etc--as traditional artists often do--but I paint on a blank virtual "canvas" on my PC with a wacom tablet and pen. Its a little different from photo manipulation which starts with a photo and ends up with a manipulation of that photo. In my case, I look at the photo and paint what I see. :)

How did you get her to stay still so long, or are you a speed painter Shere -Real cute Hoot-Great piece/V
Shere Crossman replied:
Easy Mike! I snapped a photo for me to look at while I painted her! My Nikon has a great sport setting that is awesome for catching reference photos. But she did sit there for a while! :) As a rescue owl she was used to people watching her.
