Viviparous lizard sketch | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing. The viviparous lizard, or common lizard, is a Eurasian lizard. It lives farther north than any other species of non-marine reptile, and is named for the fact that it is viviparous, meaning it gives birth to live young. My sketches start life as hand-drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch. The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavyweight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations. Very limited editions with only ten per size printed. All artwork is signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The A5 are 5.8" x 8.25" (14.8cm x 21cm) The A4 are 8.25" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.8cm) The A3 are 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) The A2 are 16.5" x 23.4" (42 cm x 59.4cm) Frames not included in price. Free shipping on artwork to UK destinations.

Taken on 2021 11th December, these are preserved viviparous lizards (Zootoca vivipara), or skogsödlor. These are the northern most land reptiles in the world. They get their name because they often give live-birth, though they can lay eggs. This adaption is useful, especially here in Sweden, where eggs would risk freezing over. They can even survive freezing over and come back to life during the thaw. Also, it should be noted the scientific name displayed is outdated given how old these specimens are. #animal #animals #djur #wildlife #naturliv #nature #natur #preservedspecimen #museumspecimen #naturalhistory #naturhistoriska #lizard #lizards #lacertas #ödlor #ödla #reptile #reptiles #kräldjur #fauna #animalia #chordata #reptilia #squamata #lacertidae #zootoca #zootocavivipara #viviparouslizard #skogsödla #commonlizard (at Evolutionsmuseet) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYm9Uv3qwfq/?utm_medium=tumblr
