Sketchbook Sunday: Barred Owl on Neon Green

I sketched this taxidermy Barred Owl at the Wagner this week in preparation for some prints of owls I'm working on and the A Wise Old Owl book project (limited edition, order yours here!) I will embark on soon.

The reason it's on neon green paper is because I went there in between classes and I forgot my sketchbook! The only paper up in the museum was a stack of flyers printed on neon green paper, so I just used the back of one.

There were a bunch of adorable little kids from a local grade school doing a scavenger hunt in the museum at the time, and they kept coming up to watch me draw and ask if I was an artist. It was a fun hour.
