This original tētē moroiti grey teal illustration is lovingly hand painted in gouache (opaque watercolour).

Each of my illustrations are inspired by real-life bird encounters and are referenced from my own photographs. I aim to highlight the distinctive features of each bird while celebrating their unique characteristics and charm.

The details:
Original illustration.
Hand painted in gouache on archival art paper.
Paper size is 225x174mm (in between A5 and A4).
Hand signed and packaged flat in sturdy cardboard.

Framing advice: I chose this size paper so it can fit nicely inside an 8x10inch frame with either a 6x8inch or 5x7inch matt board.

Please note that this illustration will be scanned and the bird will appear on some of my other native bird themed products eg. stationery.
