Silvery-cheeked Hornbill (2026)Watercolour
by Tetiana Savchenko
£311.76
Original artwork description
This original watercolor painting features a Silvery-cheeked Hornbill, a bird that immediately fascinates with its unusual silhouette and calm, attentive gaze. I especially enjoyed painting the subtle rhythm of the feathers and the soft transitions of grey tones, which give the portrait depth without making it feel heavy. The bird feels strong, but also thoughtful and quiet — that mood guided the whole process.
A beautiful fact about this species is that during nesting, the female stays sealed inside the tree hollow for weeks while the male brings her food through a small opening. It is an incredible example of trust and partnership in nature. Knowing this added even more meaning to the way I see this bird.
The painting is created with transparent watercolor layers on quality paper, preserving light, softness, and detail. The artwork is available for purchase and suits both modern and natural interior spaces.
