  2. On a palette, thin slightly SG-401 Black Designer Liner brush with the fan over the claws and stump, shade around the eyes, nose, head, and wings where they attach to the body. Wipe back the excess with a damp sponge to give it shadow.
  3. Use the tip on the SG-401 Black Designer Liner to outline the facets around the eyes, nose, and forehead.
  4. Use the SG-401 Black Designer Liner with the sponge on a stick to stamp with the ST-133 Wood Grain Stamp on the log.
  5. Brush three coats of EL-135 Rare Earth on the log base use the fan brush.
  6. Brush the claws with 2 coats of SC-41 Brown Cow, shade again with SC-15 Tuxedo, do darken and avoid using a clear glaze to gloss the SG-401 Black Designer Liner.

Brush the body of the owl with two coats of the bottom sections, brush the third coat two inches from the bottom as the color will move.
