Feathers in online wildlife art gallery

Feathers have everything an artist could wish to depict – shape, pattern, colour, texture, shine, iridescence, subtlety and even character. Making a detailed study of a single feather also helps understanding of a bird’s markings or shape - great reference for when you come to paint the whole bird. Non-artists tend to love feathers too. Who hasn’t picked up a moulted feather and admired it, firstly as a child and later in adulthood? Feathers are even believed to be symbolic of spirituality, trust or freedom.

Watercolours are often described as the most difficult art medium, but there are some occasions when a wildlife artist will find they're the only choice. For my feather paintings, for example, I would never choose anything else. They can be overlaid to depict iridescence, they’re precise enough for details of pattern and a wet-into-wet technique is perfect for showing the soft, fluffy afterfeather.
