Common Tern

This beautiful Common Tern is a one-of-a-kind original, inspired by the experiences and encounters I have had with these birds in their natural environment. The reference photo is my own. It was hand drawn with high-quality, archival Faber-Castell and Staedtler Mars Lumographic black graphite pencils on Strathmore 270 gsm bristol paper. All of my original drawings come framed with mounting hardware attached to the back, so they are ready to hang right away upon arrival.

Size: 16×24 inches

Medium: Graphite on paper

Completed: 2025

Large artwork notice:  Due to the large and fragile nature of this piece, I would prefer local pickup over shipping. If you are not from the area, I am still happy and willing to ship this framed drawing safely and securely to your home. However, if you are in the area and willing to meet me within a 1-hour driving radius of Merrill, Wisconsin, I would love to offer you a discount on the packaging and shipping fees. If this is something you are interested in, please select the free local pickup option at checkout and I will be in touch via email.
