Original Jack snipe sketch | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing. My sketches start life as hand-drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch. The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavyweight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations. Very limited editions with only ten per size printed. All artwork is signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The A5 are 5.8" x 8.25" (14.8cm x 21cm) The A4 are 8.25" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.8cm) The A3 are 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) The A2 are 16.5" x 23.4" (42 cm x 59.4cm) Frames not included in price.

Snipe, jacksnipe and a grey partridge I helped ring on the nature reserve last week - all beautiful little birds. Painted in gouache.

Conservation is key

This post comes from Archives Specialist James, who, while working with a volunteer, came across a 1918 hunting notice from D. F. Houston, the Secretary of Agriculture. This notice informs hunters that hunting insectivorous birds (birds that eat insects) is prohibited. Some birds that hunters were allowed to hunt included ducks, geese, jacksnipe, and many more.

Over 100 years later, hunters are still required to follow all Federal and State regulations for conservation purposes.
