“Infant Gorilla”
An Original Watercolour Painting
by Wildlife Artist Paul Hopkinson.
Gorillas share 98.3% of their genetic code with humans, so slightly less than chimpanzees and bonobos. They are the largest of the great apes, and they live in family groups of usually five to ten individuals. That said, groups can be as small as just two apes, or may contain more than fifty. Each group is led by a dominant adult male, known as a silverback, and the young in the group, are all offspring of silverbacks too.

I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. I specialise in wildlife - animals, birds, insects, pets etc. I love to capture the life within my paintings and enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail.
I teach my style online and enjoy seeing others fall in love with the wonderful medium of watercolour just as I have. Many of my paintings end up being tutorials in one way, shape or form - so you may even be able to see this painting being created.
