This is an original studio painting I did of two cormorants hanging out on the edge of the North Pond at Parc Lafontaine in Montreal. The summer greenery provided a lush backdrop and it was a beautiful day when I captured the photos I used for reference. This is a pure watercolour painting: all whites are the whites of the paper, no white paint was used. I used quite a few advanced watercolour techniques to create this piece including glazing, lifting, masking, negative painting and wet-in-wet. This painting is for someone who loves Montreal, birds and wildlife, and a calm and peaceful mood. Ideal artwork for any living or working space.

Watercolour, 12 x 17.825" (painted area is 11.25 x 17.125”) with professional light-fast pigments on 100% cotton paper. The painting is signed by me, JC Little, on the front and has the title and date on the back. I will include a certificate of authenticity with this painting. It will be packaged with an archival sleeve, with stiff cardboard backing on both sides, and bubble wrap to protect it, inside a box. To avoid waste, where ever possible I will re-use mailers and other packaging materials. It’s recommended to frame it behind glass, with an acid-free matte, to preserve the painting from deterioration. Display away from direct sunlight.
