Stepping Out – Original Penguin Watercolour

A little penguin. A lot of confidence.

With one foot in the air, a flipper outstretched and a wonderfully purposeful expression, this little penguin looks as though there is somewhere he absolutely needs to be.

Stepping Out is an original watercolour by Lily Clare, capturing one of those wonderfully expressive moments in the animal world that somehow feels very human.

Soft washes of grey contrast with the deep charcoal-black head and flashes of vivid orange, while the generous white space allows the penguin's character and movement to take centre stage.

There's a confidence about this one. A little independence. Perhaps even a touch of swagger.

Where he's going is anyone's guess.

But he's definitely on his way.

An original Lily Clare watercolour

Painted entirely by hand, Stepping Out is an original Lily Clare artwork rather than a digital reproduction.

The variations in watercolour, loose edges and individual brush marks are all part of the original painting, giving the piece the character and spontaneity of something created by hand.

For people who love penguins – and personality

With its simple composition and understated palette, Stepping Out would sit beautifully in both contemporary and traditional interiors.

And for someone who adores penguins, it offers something a little different from a conventional wildlife portrait — a painting as much about character as species.

One painting. One owner. Made once, yours for keeps.
