A gloriously chubby polar bear, just the way I love them! 🐻‍❄️💙
This summer, I saw several bears like this: round, powerful, healthy. Nothing like the skeletal images that go viral online…

Yes, climate change is making their lives harder. But not all adults are starving — some thrive, others struggle, and youngs are the ones who pay the highest price. They is also less birth... Realistic painting of a large, well-fed polar bear walking on a nautical chart. Detailed wildlife illustration over marine navigation lines. And me? I’m abit obsessed with these big Arctic fluff-tanks. Observing them, painting them… pure joy 😁✨ If you’d like a little piece of your favorite wild territory at home ➡️ I create painted marine-chart, the perfect keepsake from your adventures in nature🌊❄️ If you’d like a little piece of your favorite wild territory at home ➡️ I create painted marine-chart, the perfect keepsake from your adventures in nature🌊❄️

It's a #razorbill (and not a penguin 😉). He can flies ✈️ and raises a rather unusual chick!

#sciart #bird #AlcaTorda #ArcticSeabirds #WildlifeArt #ScientificIllustration #SeabirdArt
Watercolor of the Razorbill, painted in a scientific way. Did you see the uggly chick ? If you look closely 👀, you’ll see a little white bump ⚪ at the tip of the chick’s beak — called the egg tooth 💎. It helped the chick break out of its shell during hatching 🥚✨. These watercolor illustrations 🎨 are taken from a poster of Arctic alcids ❄️. Available to order in my Redbubble shop (link in bio) 🔗🛒.

Final version of the Alaska map 🗺️ with 2 iconic Arctic animals ❄️ I hope to see one day. And you — which Arctic animal fascinates you the most 🤔?

I love painting jaeger chicks.
Reason 1: they’re ridiculously cute!
2: Skuas often get a bad reputation because they steal food from other seabirds or sometimes prey on their 🐥. But… they do it to feed their own adorable baby 💛!
#sciart #birdart #watercolor #seabirds #natureillustration #wildlifeart
Jaeger (or Skua) painted with watercolor. They’re seabirds that rely on animal protein: just like murres catch fish, skuas also hunt other birds. It’s natural—and it has been this way forever. No need to pity a bird preyed upon more than a fish preyed upon… that’s how nature works !🌿🌀 ✨ This illustration is part of my Arctic seabird posters, available on my Redbubble store (link in bio).

Andean cock-of-the-rock painted with water color. With its mesmerizing gaze and beak hidden beneath that huge forward crest, it’s truly unforgettable 😳🧡 Close up on the painting and picture of the sighting I got during my traval. I was lucky enough to see the Andean Cock-of-the-rock (Rupicola peruvianus) during my trip to Peru earlier this year — such a mythical sighting! ✨

The music I was listening to really carried me through the process…
Do you also feel inspired by music when you create? 🎧💭
It was "Ballerina" by Yehezkel Raz

A tiny ball of feathers and nerves 😆!

Trying to suggest the #bird ’s environment is always a challenge for me 🎨😅…
That’s why I painted the background first, then the bird 🐦💚
Do you also struggle to paint dense vegetation? 😆

Finished after nightfall 😅🌙… Luckily, I got my scanner back! The painting wasn’t even dry when I scanned it 💦😂

Cryptic plumage is such a challenge 🎨😅!
It’s a true artistic challenge! Still, I love #bird s with this kind of plumage — ptarmigans, owls, #shorebird… real masters of camouflage 👑🌿

Did you know that boobies don’t have nostrils? 😲 That helps them avoid swallowing water when they dive 🌊. They breathe through openings under the yellow plate, near the corner of the bill. Do you see?👀

Finally found the courage to paint it 😅! (Almost 24 hours to get started!)

I love the feather texture & that eye 👁️🔥.

Do you ever feel like it’s just not the right time to paint? 😄

Water color of an Amazon Kingfisher I met. He was perched on the sailboat dock in Ushuaia (Patagonia) 🌎 — a restricted area unless you’re boarding a boat… and I was! ⛵ I was meeting up with Jeremy Villet, a brilliant photographer 📸, who, like me, had just returned from Antarctica ❄️. You’ve got to embrace the unexpected ✨ — the sailboat visit was meant to be the highlight of my morning, but instead, this surprise bird gave me a memory for life 💙 Picture of the king fisher perched on a rope of the sailing boat Picture of an Amazon king fisher perched on a rope

What's the difference between an orbital ring and an eye ring of a #bird ? 👀
The eye ring is a tiny ring of feathers around the eye 🪶, while the orbital ring is a patch of bare skin.
