The wild alliance of the Wild Boar and the Woodcock with the pin-feather

In the world of contemporary wildlife art, marrying the wild boar and the woodcock within the same composition holds a powerful symbolism for all hunting and wilderness enthusiasts. This drawing honors the raw power of the "bête noire" alongside the mysterious lightness of the woodcock.

Creating such an artwork requires a flawless mastery of the artist-feather technique. This tiny, pointed feather, located at the very tip of the woodcock's wing, acts as a miniature paintbrush. Both rigid and flexible, it demands absolute concentration: every single stroke is permanent, leaving no room for error. It is through this unique tool that textures come alive, offering a striking realism that transcends a simple drawing to turn it into a true collector's piec

What's the woodcock painter's feather ?

The painter's feather comes from the wing of the woodcock. It is a small pointed feather in the shape of a spearhead, flexible and rigid at the same time. It is also called a brush or a surremige. In the Middle Ages, it was used to make illuminations. Each nib is unique in the way it behaves and leaves no room for error. Because of its fragility, each quill can only be used for a small area. On each work of art are the feathers that were used to make the drawing.

  • How do you order the painter's pen drawing of your pet? It's very simple, just contact the artist. She will give you all the information you need to order your drawing. She will tell you how to proceed. First, you can send her photos and she will tell you which one she thinks is the best to make a drawing with the painter's pen. Not all photos are suitable for a drawing with this very specific technique. Some elements can be modified, others added to give the best possible result.
  • Can I order a painting even if I don't live in the same area as the artist? Of course you can. Thanks to the Internet and the telephone, everything can be done remotely.

  • Can I pay in installments? Yes, you can pay your order in several installments. In principle, the payment is made in two steps with a deposit of 30% at the order and the balance when the drawing is completed. But, you can also, if you wish, pay in 4 times by checks made out to the ANIMAL ARTIST Laurence Saunois or with Paypal where a payment in 4 times is possible (see the terms)

  • How long does it take to make a drawing with a painter's feather? The realization of a drawing with bird feathers requires time. The drawing is done square centimeter by square centimeter. This technique leaves no room for error and therefore the painter advances slowly. The deadlines of realization also take into account the orders in progress.

  • Will I be kept informed of the progress of my order? Yes, throughout the realization of your drawing with the painter's pen, the artist sends you by e-mail photos of the progress. You will be able to see the progress of your order.

  • How does the delivery work? Once your drawing is finished, Laurence Saunois organizes the delivery by setting a date that suits you. She takes care of the packaging that will protect your work and will contact the carrier. You will receive your package with your artwork as soon as possible.
