Description
Original Painting of a Southern Rockhopper Penguin by Wildlife Artist & Online Art Tutor Paul Hopkinson
At just 20 inches tall, the Southern Rockhopper is one of the smallest penguins, but is also one of the most numerous. They come together in their thousands to breed in burrows constructed amongst the tall shoreline grasses, but sadly their numbers are in decline and at serious risk due to overfishing and pollution (amongst other reasons). They are an agile bird, and they do indeed hop, with both feet together, up craggy island edges north of Antarctica.
There is a single very close up photo included to show the level of detail that has been achieved in the painting.

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.
