The 'Owl in Tree' Puzzle' is a 302 piece, hand cut jigsaw puzzle cut from original art work pained on 6.5mm ply.  This puzzle features irregular edges, some drop-out apatures and 7 figural pieces including the signature piece.

The stages of producing this puzzle include tracing the original design drawn on paper onto a gesso-primed 6.5mm ply board. The linework in this line and wash painting, has then been 'inked-in with black acrylic ink using a pointed nib dip pen.

Thinned washes of black acrlic ink have then been painted over the line work, to establish tones, shading and modelling of forms. This monochrome grey underpainting, now ready for colouring has then been colourised with subsequent separate transparent layered washes of coloured acrylic ink; burnt sienna, pthalo blue and orange yellow.

Some accent colour of red acrylic have also been applied prior to final varnishing and cutting.
