Under a simple lowercase heading, six whales swim across the page in loose, layered watercolour: a blue whale, a sperm whale, a humpback, an orca, a narwhal and a pale beluga, each named in fine handwriting. The washes of slate, ink blue and grey give it the look of a field sketchbook rather than a poster.

For a family that lives near the water, it is a lovely way to bring the ocean indoors. Use it as the centrepiece of a nursery, hang it in a bathroom or hallway, or pair it with our Whales Print for two different takes on the same theme. You'll find more sea-inspired pieces in our coastal collection. It makes a meaningful gift for a new baby, a marine-mad child, or anyone who has watched orca pass through the harbour.
