Animal Portraits Painted On Feathers

Astonishingly Real Animal Portraits Painted On Delicate Feathers

Artist Krystle Missildine is passionate about creature portraits, and her latest creative venture experiments with paintings realistic animal paintings on pristine and fragile bird feathers.

The plucked treasures take flight away from their role to adorn birds, and instead become ornamented by the artist’s skills and vivid illustrations. The realistic animal portraits show the expert execution of the artist. Feathers are a peculiar choice for a canvas - the fine fibres and its natural pigment make it a tricky material for artists to paint and perfect their art upon. The laborious task of building color, shape and paint to make coherent and realistic impression is a challenge overcome by Missildine with astonishing results. Feathers become the frame and skin for her expressive animal portrait while complimenting each other without detracting attention away from either. Using an arsenal of acrylic paint and tiny paintbrushes, the artist resourced the luxurious feather quills as donations from parrot owners and her own pets.

The vibrant and realistic animal portraits make us realise innovative ways in which artist use and rediscover art. Here, Missildine uses beautiful fragments of birds, and adds her alluring art to nature’s own handiwork. The union of the splendid mediums which both pay homage to the fascinating subjects of the animal kingdom make us respect and cherish it far more. The magnificent feathers collected from rare and exotic birds are delicate, which reflects the technique and portraits employed by artist Krystle Missildine.
