Reticulated Giraffe

Description

Original Painting of a Reticulated Giraffe (Giraffa reticulate) by Wildlife Artist & Online Art Tutor Paul Hopkinson

In 1990 there were estimated to be 36,000 Reticulated Giraffe in the wild, now the estimate is around 16,000, a decline of over 50%. Their characteristic orange-brown patches are divided by an obvious network of white lines, which extends over the whole body, this is very different to other giraffe species. In the wild, Reticulated Giraffe can be found in north, and north-eastern Kenya, with isolated populations in parts of southern Somalia & Ethiopia.

Packaging & Materials
I have used 100% cotton watercolour paper and 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.
