Original Watercolour Dragonfly Painting - Illustration, Fine-Art Realistic Detail
This is an immature male Black Tailed Skimmer Dragonfly. Mature males have a powder blue coloured abdomen whereas the immature male is much more like the female of the species. Interestingly the little black marks on the wing ends are known as pterostigma. Small as they are they add weight to the wing and can speed up gliding by 25%. This dragonfly can often be seen basking on exposed soil or stone around ponds, lakes and slow moving rivers.

Painting size 18.6 cm x 17 cm or 7.3” x 6.7”

Packaging & Materials
I have used an excellent quality watercolour paper and the finest of brushes to produce the tiny details which bring this painting to life.
The painting will be carefully wrapped in cellophane and protected with additional packing. Likewise, I aim for my originals to arrive with you in the same condition that they left me. I use the Royal Mail’s ‘Signed for Next Day’ or ‘International Tracked’ service.
A bit about me
I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. Specialising in wildlife - animals, birds, insects and botanical studies I love to capture the life within my paintings. I very much enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail. My portfolio is ever expanding and many of my paintings are available as tutorials - both written and video. Take a look on my channels, and you may see this painting being created, maybe even have a go yourself!
Thank you for browsing my work and I look forward to hearing from you.
