The Boobook Owl is a small brown owl with streaked markings on the belly and white spots on the wings. It has very large yellow/green eyes and is named after its two-toned call. It is native to Australia and New Guinea.
This painting is done with premium handmade Kobaien inks on gold-flecked Miro Rakusui washi paper. The image size is H28cm x  W41cm and has been dry mounted by the artist on 300gsm Fabriano archival paper that is H30cm x W42cm.
 
All black inks are not the same! 
I have used three different tones of black for this image:
Chaboku
Suibokugayou (Bluish-black ink with indigo)
Kurenai Bana (Ink with safflower oil)
As well as Saibiboku colours and gouache.
 
It is currently unframed and on receipt please frame under glass with acid-free matt board.
It can be framed on request - if so, plexiglass will be used for insurance and transport purposes.
The quality of materials used means the beauty and value of this work will increase over time, provicing you with an investment that will last for generations.
