Heron Lino-print

As part of the art project at Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve I had previously painted a pen and wash illustration of a Heron.  I loved the photo it was based on and have been itching to design a lino-print of the Heron too.  The full story and creation process can be seen on the art project blog:
