The Himalayan Griffon Vulture

How wonderful for you to see this big bird Seok. Love the background negative painting and the colours, a great painting.

Beautiful colours in the bird and equally the countryside, a delightful painting.

Magnificent painting of a majestic bird Seok! You are so well travelled and we are lucky to have a small glimpses of those faraway places trough your lovely work.

Beautiful palette Seok and I love your w.c. Technique.

How lucky you are Seok to experience such magnificent wild life and countryside and thank you for sharing them with us in your delightful paintings.

What a great watercolour. The bird looks majestic in the middle of a mysterious landscape...

This must have been scary, you can see the threat in his eye. It was bad enough that we had a female pheasant flapping around in our conservatory last week. Love the mottled blues and greens in this

I like the way you've treated the background and pebbles Seok.

What an amazing bird to come across in the wild, It's quite majestic. A great painting to compliment this great creature.

Wow ! A stunning piece. The bird blends in so well with the vegetation . I love your palette too.

Yes Seok extremely impressive work I too envy that experience

Just beautiful Seok lucky you seeing them in real life!

Super painting Seok, love the bird's eye, he seems to be watching you!

Super work once again Seok, the bird sits very naturally in the scene.

Lovely piece of quality work Seok . Beautifully painted . I love to see these birds in flight riding the hot air thermals , in this country the buzzards do the same thing there flight is poetry in motion .

Exquisite washes Seok, and a beautifully painted majestic bird.

Beautiful watercolour Seok - so very well done. Love the colours and the wet into wet effect.

Wow, this is beautifully painted Seok, watercolour at its best. The softness of the vegetation makes your magnificent bird stand out even more, and the colours are superb.

Thanks so very much, everyone!

Negative painting at its best Seok and what a magnificent bird.
