Cut to white watercolour illustration of the Green sea turtle, pacing right with front flippers outstretched and face in profile.

Here's another of the #naturalhistoryillustrations I did of #Montserrat wildlife. This is the #Greenseaturtle, #Cheloniamydas.

The pattern of the shell is tough to try and capture. Lots of layers of paint, and treating each scute individually.

📈 Això indica una colonització incipient per dues poblacions molt allunyades geogràficament. El canvi climàtic podria estar obrint noves àrees de nidificació que podrien esdevenir clau a escala global.
