Original artwork description:

Scarlet Stance - Original Watercolour Painting
A Scarlet Ibis stands with perfect poist - beak and plumage on fine display.

8 inches wide by 10 inches high on English handmade 100% cotton rag paper

What captured my eye was the soft way the feathers fades from pale to deep red at the tips.

In subtle shades of pink, orange and scarlet I built up layers of colour in fine veils...letting each dry before applying the other to really let each colour sing.

The surface of the paper has a slight tooth and that allowed me to get realistic texture of the feathers and beak especially.

A captivating tiger portrait for the lover of big cats.

This is an original tiger watercolour on archival acid-free 100% cotton paper and is signed in paint on the front.

I loved painting her wise and nonchalant expression.

I will package this original watercolour rigidly to protect it while in transit.

Thanks for purchasing an original from a working artist - Alison
