Recycled Owls

These are the owls I promised to upload.  They are all painted on the cardboard centre that is left when the toilet roll runs out.  The lovely Monica Zuniga from Hands and Heart did a free lesson on how to recycle these and use them as a basis for art. 

Once flattened I covered with pages from an old dictionary and then painted on thinned acrylic paint. Drew the outline of the owl and then painted it. Once dry I reoutlined and did all the line work.

It's strange, but there was absolutely no pressure with these, as for some reason painting on each toilet roll holder was quite liberating, and these characters just appeared.
