Commission Tui and Little Blue Penguin

Birds playing Settlers of Catan painting

This painting was a commission for two friends of mine. They came to me with the idea of a tui and a little blue penguin playing Settlers of Catan. They like to play boardgames together and I just loved the challenge of creating this fun, cosy scene in my style. I haven’t done a commission for a personal client before but this was such a lovely experience and I can see how rewarding it was for both them and me the artist. I was able to buy a framed wooden round from a local framing company ‘Wallace Studio Designs’ which was so easy to use and looks fantastic. I uses a mixture of Resene Paints and Posca paint pens with a clear satin varnish to finish and protect it.
