Artwork Description

Wrens, wrens everywhere!

This A3 size (29.7 x 42cm) original artwork has 5 quick watercolour studies of Superb Fairy-Wrens - 4 males, and one female (the brown one). Wrens are such cheerful birds, and these cheeky little characters are sure to compliment any room's decor.

These sketches are based on my own photographs of a group of Fairy-Wrens on the Gold Coast, QLD. They are delightful birds to observe, and super-quick as they dart around after insects, taking short pauses to sing to one another. This is what I tried to capture in these quick studies - character and movement, rather than small details.

They're my favourite Australian birds to observe, and to paint!

This artwork is UNFRAMED - but I can arrange framing for you (in Brisbane), at extra cost depending on frame type/complexity. I have a trusted local framer and I'd be delighted to discuss framing options.

All art by Nadya Neklioudova

Against a soft abstract background gradient, from magenta at top to light yellow at the bottom, stands an Australian Crested Pigeon, viewed directly from the front. He has his head down in a dancing pose, his tail up and fanned out across the top half of the painting, and his wings display his beautiful magenta and green feathers. Delicate patterns grace his plumage as he performs his dance for the viewer. Original watercolour painting by Australian wildlife artist Nadya Neklioudova.A realistic study of Powerful Owl feathers, drawn from life by Nadya Neklioudova. On the right is a large wing feather, spanning from the top to the bottom of the artwork. It has dark-brown and white/pale stripes, and a small blue shadow to the right. The other three, arranged on alternating angles, are small and fluffy feathers with a brown and white chevron pattern.Mixed-media drawing of a female Powerful Owl, on brown-tinted paper (proper art paper, acid-free), which makes the white highlights in the feathers really stand out, and the dark tones recede. The face, eyes, beak and head feathers are exquisitely detailed with fine ink pen lines and pencil shading. In the background are loose diagonal pencil lines, their colour hinting at a bushland forest background. A watercolour portrait of a Dingo, by Nadya Neklioudova. The Dingo's natural, earthy ochre colours stand out on the grassy, natural bushland background of olive-green. There is a gentle softness to this painting, the animal's face and eyes are detailed, while the soft fur fades into the environment.
