A Photorealism Bird Painting of a Buzzard in autumn.
This large Bird Of Prey belonged to Dr. Nick Fox, world
renowned author and expert in Falconry and Hawking.
The Buzzard was tethered by leather jesses to a nearby bow
perch but I chose to omit them from the painting to give
the impression of it being a wild bird.
The picture is painted in oils using Liquin (a product made
by Winsor & Newton) as a fast-drying medium which allows
for transparent layers to be applied in quick succession. The
support is medium density fibreboard (MDF) given several
coats of pure white gesso.
The Buzzard is the most common Bird Of Prey in the UK.
I think this one was a female though apart from size (the
male is slightly smaller) there is very little to differentiate
visually between the two.
This Buzzard Painting is currently on display in the "Painting
Nature" exhibition at The Bridge Gallery, Llandeilo, S. Wales.
