Green Heron Original Gouache Painting

Original Gouache Painting of a Green Heron

The green heron (Butorides virescens) is a small, compact wading bird found across North and Central America, known for its rich chestnut-pink breast, deep greenish-black cap and back, and bright orange-yellow legs. One of the few tool-using birds, it's been observed dropping bait onto water to attract fish—a charming detail that makes it as fascinating to know about as it is beautiful to paint.
