Eurasian Wren Original Gouache Painting

Eurasian Wren Painting

An original unframed artwork of a Eurasian Wren by Amanda Gosse.

The UK's most common bird, the Eurasian Wren, scientific name Troglodytes troglodytes is a tiny brown bird which feeds mainly on insects. The wren has a disproportionately loud, melodic song, ranging from sharp warbles to chipping calls. Often seen darting low along hedgerows or probing stone walls for insects, it is exactly the kind of subject that suits the detail of gouache and coloured pencil.

Did you know? The male wren builds multiple nests to attract a mate – sometimes as many as six or seven – and the female selects her favourite, lining it with feathers before laying her eggs.
