The Peacock No.1

The almost fantastical bird, The Peacock, calls for a more expressive capture. This is an original watercolour and ink painting, completed in 2019.

The majestic peacock was illustrated using Windsor & Newton professional watercolours and Sennelier inks, on Arches 300gsm Smooth Watercolour paper in natural white 100% cotton. I drew back into the wet paint, and used a white goauche over the dried paint to bring detail to his feathers. A3 in size, the artwork will be sent to you packed flat in an archival clear sleeve with heavy board to prevent damage.

*Frame to illustrate art on wall – not included.
Colour may vary from screen to painting.

I've always enjoyed incorporating art into my everyday, whether it be through my work as a designer or by painting in spare time. My art reflects my love of birdlife, passion for patterns and background in graphic design. Experiments over the years have drawn me to watercolour as my medium of choice. I find its ability to layer colours and shapes can truly bring a bird portrait to life. My work features in homes and businesses around Australia, as well as internationally.
