Dik-dik

Description

Original Painting of a Dik-dik (Madoqua cavendishi) by Wildlife Artist & Online Art Tutor Paul Hopkinson

Dik-diks are a small antelope, indeed they are no bigger than a hare. Their name comes from a sort of whistling sound that they make with their nose. Interestingly the dark spot below the inside corner of their eyes, produces a dark, sticky secretion which they use to mark their territories, and their elongated noses help them to stay cool in extremely hot temperatures.

Packaging & Materials
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.
