Australian Birds - Carnaby's Black Cockatoo - Linoprint and Watercolour

Carnaby's Black Cockatoo - Edition of 20

Linoprint and watercolour.

Carnaby's black cockatoo, also known as the short-billed black cockatoo, is a large black cockatoo endemic to southwest Australia. It was described in 1948 by naturalist Ivan Carnaby. Measuring 53–58 cm in length, it has a short crest on the top of its head.

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 29.7 mm x Width 21mm
Image size: Height 170mm x Width 120mm

Your hand-signed, hand-painted edition print will be one of only "20" 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.
