JOHN COSTIN STUDIO

This bird is one of the most common herons in the U.S., located in every state. You notice how the bird is confronting the viewer, an in-your-face pose. These striking birds stand nearly 54” high with a 6’ wingspan. The Great Blue Heron that you see here is one of my largest etchings I have ever made, similar in size to the “Roseate Spoonbill in Flight”. It is life size and created with 3 large copper plates printed with 9 different inks. After printing, each is hand-colored with transparent watercolors. This piece is nearly sold out, only a few left.
