Finnish Owls information board sketch

This picture (when ready) will be used in information board of Finnish Owl species. It will be 2 meters wide with title bar and bar below that has distribution maps, measurements, diets and so on.

All birds are painted separately and will be scanned when the background is still white. Later I will finish these paintings. I quickly made this sketch layout for the person who will do final layout. He is not a birder so he needs to know what size different birds should be.

After doing this sketch I finished the bakcground painting.

Re: Finnish Owls information board sketch

That's really neat. I am unclear about one detail. Will you be painting the birds directly onto the mural or when you say scanned do you mean your painting's scans will be placed on the mural?

I can't wait until you've started the actual piece.

That is just wonderful and I hope your painting will be used for the final board. Please keep us informed how things are going. I find this so interesting.

Re: Finnish Owls information board sketch

Thanks for your comments!

First I tought that I would paint these all as one piece, but then I realised that latter this kind of painting would be useles. So all owls are separate paintings that will have their own backgrounds and can be sold.

Afer photoshopping owls over the Finland scene baground this composition picture will be printed on aluminium. This board will be outside in a zoo so it would not be practical to make real mural there. Good uv protected prints are more durable.
