King Penguin

Description

Original Painting of a King Penguin by Wildlife Artist & Online Art Tutor Paul Hopkinson

King Penguins are our second largest penguin, but still stand at an impressive 85-95cm tall. They lay just one egg, which is incubated on top of their feet. They take turns to incubate the egg or to feed at sea, with shifts lasting two to three weeks. Once the egg hatches, in around 54 days, the shifts reduce to around a week, but last for a further 40 days or thereabouts. At this point the chick will join a crèche to keep warm and safe, while they grow their feathers out, and become independent.

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.
