Hooman of Leviathan the greatest boi✨
Snowy owl (Bubo scandiacus) with watercolours. I did this commission for a friend, who knows this owl in particular (a "pet"), so I had many many reference photos :)

Just saying - they started watching me first (the disadvantage of having a roof window). Now they’re sabotaging my camera ;)

Juvenile yellow-legged gulls (Larus michahellis) on my roof. Put my birdbuddy there (without food) to check what is really going on there ;)

Painted an Eurasian magpie (Pica pica) with watercolours - not only the bird with the best Latin name, but also one of the most beautiful corvids <3

Watercolour painting of a black grouse (Lyrurus tetrix) in Valais (Switzerland).
.
Although the males have their bright red "eyebrow", I love the colour pattern of the females much more.

Megatherium - from the Natural History Museum in Basel. Am I the only one that gets the creeps when looking at this prehistoric animal?
