October Portrait: Northern White-faced Owl, Apollo!

Who-o-o’s big eyes are glowing orange?! Kick off the National Aviary’s Owl-O-Ween festivities a few days early by joining Maria DeSimone Prascak of Maria’s Ideas (mariasideas.com) for a special sp-OO-ky evening edition of Brushes & Birds!

Grab your friends or plus one and create your very own BOO-tiful portrait using Maria’s easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Before class, meet a National Aviary Animal Ambassador owl and purchase one (or two!) alcoholic beverages from our friends at Atria’s Specialty Catering. Scrumptious light bites and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available for purchase. 

And don’t worry...no prior drawing skills are required; a tracer for easy design transfer will be provided.
