Bearded Reedling

Description

Original Painting of a Bearded Reedling (Panurus biarmicus) by Wildlife Artist & Online Art Tutor Paul Hopkinson

Bearded Reedlings, or Bearded Tits as they used to be known, are a small bird found in large reedbeds. They have an obvious black moustache and no beard, so don’t be fooled by their name. They have an interesting ability to completely switch their diet. In the summer months, they will heat insects, but then in the winter eat seeds, which are by then more plentiful. To grind the seeds they eat grit, and it is around grit trays that we have usually seen them on nature reserves.

I have used the finest 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. 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.
