Bowtruckle No.5 - original watercolour painting

Bowtruckle No.5
Watercolour on paper by Heather Castles

This is one of six studies I painted while working on my altered muggle art collection. The bowtruckles were very well behaved and sat still long enough for me to capture some of their unique personalities!

I like the pairing of a watercolour portrait in these old vintage frames... like they were painted long ago, a magical part of our history! 

Frame details : These tiny frames were custom made from an old antique frame. Wall display, there's a little metal ring to hang it from.
