Water Vole

Description

Original Painting of a Water Vole (Arvicola amphibious) by Wildlife Artist & Online Art Tutor Paul Hopkinson

Sadly Water Voles are one of Britain’s most threatened species, they have been heavily predated by invasive American Mink, and have suffered huge habitat loss. There are moves to help boost the numbers of these endearing little rodents, with captive bred animals being released into suitable habitats, and it would be lovely to think that we may one day hear that characteristic plop of one dropping into a waterway or pond near here.

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.
