Paper is one of the materials that many artists tend to approach to find a great medium for their artistic expression. From these lines we usually share some that profess a passion for paper which leads to truly amazing results.
Another one of those artists who can perplex by your creativity and the great use they make of this material is Johan Scherft. Part of his time is dedicated to creating realistic watercolor bird figures. These models that you can see in this post take weeks for their realization in which the process is the design itself and what it is to give them the color with the watercolor.
Johan Scherft has a great passion for birds by representing on paper and watercolor more than 20 species in a series that has a great technique and reaches almost hyper-realism, although it remains just at the limit to give its own visual style.
We can find the goldfinch, hummingbird, woodpecker, owl or kingfisher among other recreations of these very special living beings. The truth is that any of them conveys the feeling of being before a real one in which it seems that he is going to make one of those quick and instinctive movements to fly away.
Un excellent work of this artist in which he demonstrates a great technique in watercolor and that by appropriately cutting the figure and shape, he finally gives in each of these finishes that you can find in your own website or in Etsy. It is in the latter where you can buy any of the seedlings for a very reasonable price such as 8,47 in some cases such as the goldfinch, or a single one for about € 150.
Scherft shows the passion he feels for all those species to bring us all these figures with exquisite treatment.
