'Woodland Prince' – Original Watercolour Pheasant Painting -  ‘Woodland Prince’ is an original watercolour painting that celebrates the quiet majesty of one of our most recognisable countryside characters — the pheasant. With his vibrant russet, chestnut, and copper tones, I wanted to paint him in a way that felt both regal and rooted in the earthy warmth of the woods. There’s something almost noble about a pheasant as he steps out from the shadows of the undergrowth, his feathers catching the light in flashes of colour. I tried to capture that moment — when nature is still, and he pauses mid-stride, perfectly poised and completely himself.

Painted with professional-grade watercolours on textured, high-quality paper, this piece allowed me to really enjoy the transparency and layering that watercolour offers. I used gentle washes to evoke the woodland atmosphere — soft golden tones to suggest filtered light through leaves, deeper browns and olives to echo the underfoot crunch of a forest floor. Every feather was placed with care, not to be hyper-realistic, but to give a sense of movement, texture, and that lovely natural irregularity found in the wild.

The name ‘Woodland Prince’ came to me as I painted — he carries himself like he owns the land, alert but calm, a little wary, a little proud. It’s that personality I wanted to bring out, making this more than a wildlife portrait, but a character study in its own way.

This painting works beautifully in a number of spaces. It’s a lovely focal point in a living room, especially in homes with a rustic, farmhouse, or country feel. It sits well in a study or office, where a quiet sense of nature can be grounding and calming. It also adds warmth and a storytelling touch to hallways, libraries, or even dining spaces — anywhere that could benefit from a bit of rural charm.

‘Woodland Prince’ also makes a meaningful and thoughtful gift. For wildlife lovers, countryside walkers, nature enthusiasts, or those who just feel most at home when surrounded by trees and fields, this is a piece that brings that spirit indoors. It would also make a very special gift for birthdays, retirements, or as a one-of-a-kind housewarming present.

The painting comes framed in a clean, white wooden frame that lets the colours sing and fits into both modern and traditional interiors. Measuring 38 x 30cm including the frame, it’s a manageable size that still makes a statement — perfect either hung on its own or as part of a nature-inspired gallery wall.

‘Woodland Prince’ is one of those pieces that I painted with a smile on my face — and I hope it brings the same sense of quiet delight into your home too.
