paint project

           For the paint project I tried to recreate a picture of Hedwig from Harry Potter.  I think the strongest technical aspect of this is how I blurred the background and got a feathered look on the owl's body.  I found it difficult to make the different hues and shades match the original picture and it seems to not have the same shading.  I feel I did well on the speckles to make each individual one match whatever color was beneath it.  If I were to do something different, I'd have used the burn tool to create more depth where there should be shadows.
