(Whereabouts unknown).

 

A small Gouache Bird Painting of a Blackcap produced 

with a postage stamp design in mind. The style was 

inspired by the work of English Watercolour Bird Painter 

Michael Warren.

 

The Blackcap is a sparrow-size species of warbler.

The male has a melodious song and is known as the 

"northern nightingale". The female is depicted here 

bathing and contrary to its name has a brown head. 

 

The Blackcap Bird Painting was painted when I was a 

student at Barnsley school of art and it helped me to 

become accepted onto the Wildlife Illustration course 

at Dyfed College of Art in Carmarthen, Wales in 1981.
