A bird of prey perched on a nearby post. The flash of blue as a kingfisher flies past. The stare of a deer through the trees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure you can recall some very special wildlife moments.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we want to capture these moments on paper, it can help our painting to tell a story if we show the animal displaying some of its natural behaviour.<\/span><\/p>\n
