Martin
Woodcock turned a hobby into a profession in 1974. Shortly
afterwards, his first illustrated field guide –The Birds of
South-east Asia – was published by Collins. Since
then, he
has illustrated many other ornithological guidebooks and family
monographs, and painted virtually all the colour plates for the
seven-volume definitive work The Birds of Africa For his site click

Living in north Norfolk has latterly led
to wider
landscapes, seas and skies in his paintings, though inspiration also
derives from trips further afield. Oil and watercolour are the
preferred media, and the subjects range from pure landscape to detailed
ornithological portraits in oil on panel. |
