That link doesnt work Anyanka.
I have to admit that i am a fan of the more impressionist type thing. I love oils because of this. However i am trying to go for the more realistic type so am delving more into acrylics. |

Oops, I somehow duplicated the http bit. Try again: Helen Brown
Do you have some of your paintings on display here (or elsewhere), Amylou? And what subject have you just been studying, if I may ask? |

Animal biology, excellent! What's your next aim with that? I'm asking because my daughter is off to do Animal Management at Merrist Wood in September, so I'm always curious what animal-related jobs there are. I know yours is quite a different degree, but still...
Thanks for showing me the butterfly painting. Is that oil or acrylics? I've only 'discovered' oils fairly recently and am totally bowled over by the colours and the handling. I've not done any animals in oils yet, but will do a greyhound soon - as a raffle prize for the Retired Greyhound Trust. Last year I made a pencil portrait for the winner. I hope it's not going to be a brindle one again this time, all those stripes made my eyes go funny.
My favourite of Helen's paintings was an otter, it's not on her site! I saw it at an exhibition in Marwell zoo; the water around the otter's head was just... a bit like the hippo on her Gallery. I actually don't know how she does that. |

Il be honest and say im not 100% where im heading. Ideally i would mix the vet nursing with the animal biology and work with injured wildlife. But those jobs are few and far between! Im applying for anything animal related at the moment.
Its acrylics. Its copied from a picture that i randomly found. I do love oils as i like to get my fingers stuck in lol. I did a painting yonks ago of a falcon of some kind and the back ground was trees all done with my fingers! It looked very cool. I havnt a clue where it is though  | | | |
