Hector the Bateleur Eagle

Watercolour painting of a bateleur eagle by Helen Frost Rich

This is Hector, the Bateleur Eagle. I’ve been experimenting with a looser style of painting recently. I am really enjoying the flow of colours together, and the way the watercolour pigments react with each other to create fascinating effects.

Watercolour 17cm x 12cm

Original painting – £200

Arwen the Black Kite

Painting of a Black Kite bird of prey by Helen Frost Rich

The beautiful Black Kite is not a native species in the UK. This is a painting of Arwen, one of the birds at Kielder Water Birds of Prey Centre, in Northumberland. Arwen is quite a character who likes to steal people’s hats and fly off with them.

Many thanks to Ray and his team for letting me photograph and draw their beautiful birds. If you happen to be in the area, do go and visit.

11″x8″ watercolour and coloured pencil.

Original painting – £350
