Watercolour and ink on paper
Size 32 × 6 inches (81.3 × 15.2 cm)
Crowd brings together a lively collection of hens, each with its own personality. Some are bold, some quiet, some curious, and some simply amusing. Different breeds, sizes, and expressions create a gathering that feels both playful and full of character. This large-format watercolour is also an exploration of materials and process. I experimented with different brushes, textures, and mark-making, allowing the paint to move freely while preserving the lightness and transparency that make watercolour so expressive. The more time you spend with the painting, the more individual characters begin to emerge. Each bird has its own presence, yet together they form a vibrant flock that celebrates individuality, diversity, and the joy of observation.
