Kahukura / Red Admiral - an open edition Prelude Print

I have painted quite a few Kahukura / Red Admiral over the years. This particular version I really focused on capturing idea of soft velvety scales on the Kahukura's wings. Lots of subtle layers were worked up to create a richness and depth to all of the colours, in particular the darker hues. 

The painting is a continuation on from my 'Preludes' of my 'Preludes and Nocturnes' series, which is based upon day dwelling and nocturnal species endemic to New Zealand.

It has been professionally printed using archival inks on Hahnemuhle William Turner 310gms cotton rag paper. This particular paper is just gorgeous, it has the appearance of water-colour paper and has been specifically created for longevity when used with pigmented inks. Because of this the black tones have a wonderful velvety appearance.

Your treasure will be shipped to you carefully encased in cellophane (you can put this in your compost) and posted within a sturdy reinforced envelope to prevent it from being damaged in the post. A2 sized will be carefully encased in a sturdy tube or box.
