BATELEUR Terathopius ecaudatus (DIGITAL PAINTING NOT A PHOTOGRAPH) by

Final of 4 digital paintings created using Corel Painter v X, for a WWF FDC issue for Guinea Bissau. A Bateleur is a kind of eagle. I thought it was a male’s courtship display, but apparently it’s a female sunning herself. You learn something new every day…

About DilettantO

I have been a freelance illustrator for over 35 years. For the last 10 or so, I have been working almost exclusively digitally, using Corel Painter x V on PC. I do NOT manipulate photographs to create my paintings. I use photos for reference purposes only.
Most of my work is for the WWF Stamp Collection.

    Simply superb capture love it.

  • Thanks Julie, but if by ‘capture’ you mean by using a camera, it isn’t. It’s a painting which is based on a photo and unfortunately looks like one. X
