Avocet flight
The four species of avocets are a genus, Recurvirostra, of waders in the same avian family as the stilts. The genus name comes from Latin recurvus, 'curved backwards' and rostrum, 'bill'. The common name is thought to derive from the Italian word avosetta.
My sketches start life as hand drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch.
Here on Artfinder I produce one off original artworks even though the final output is a Giclée print it is the only one I produce and is therefore unique.
The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavy weight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations.
I include a signed certificate of authenticity with each artwork.
