Tawny Owl In Blue

Acrylic inks on Two Rivers hand-pressed paper. 

This tawny owl is a unique style of fine art drawing and has been painted in acrylic inks on specialist Two Rivers hand pressed 300GSM paper.  

I used a traditional nib-based pen and high-quality lightfast inks on hand-made watercolour paper with an abstracted background. 

With this style of artwork, I create the background ink study first and then looking at the abstract, I decide on how best to incorporate an animal, bird or insect into the spaces available. Rather like looking at clouds, I let the composition of the abstract dictate the outcome. In this particular piece the colours and patterns inspired me to an owl. 

Much care and attention is taken in packaging my work for both national and international deliveries. This item will be packaged firstly with an acid-free tissue paper to ensure a protective layer and is then sealed in clear plastic cellophane. All corners are protected with cardboard corner protectors. It is then finished with a triple wrapping of bubble wrap with two cardboard sheets and placed into another cardboard covering.
