Azure Kingfisher - Edition of 25
Linoprint and hand-painted individually with watercolours.
The Azure Kingfisher is a small kingfisher with a long slender black bill and a short tail. The head, neck, upper parts and breast sides are deep azure blue with a violet (purplish) sheen. The neck has a distinctive orange stripe on each side and there is a small orange spot before each eye. The throat is pale orange-white, grading to orange-reddish on belly and undertail. The flanks and sides of the breast are washed purple to violet. The legs and feet are red. The sexes are similar. Young birds have a darker cap and are generally duller.
I have created the print by hand-carving a piece of lino, rolling ink onto the linocut and hand-printing the print onto the watercolour paper.
I have then painted the linoprint with lightfast watercolours.
Ink: Caligo Safe Wash - Oil-based and lightfast pigment
Watercolour: Dr PH Martins - Hydrus watercolours
Paper: 300gsm Watercolour Paper - Acid free
Paper size: Height 390mm x Width 280mm
Image size: Height 300mm x Width 220mm
Your hand-signed, hand-painted edition print will be one of only "25" printed, each one slightly different which makes it unique.
The print is sold unmounted and unframed.
The image can be framed as is within a window mount. Picture framers will cut window mounts to size if you wish to use an existing frame.If you would like a specific print created please feel free to contact me.
