Website link below. I’m a self taught artist based in Swansea valley in South Wales �

I’ve loved art and nature since I was a child and my favourite subject all through primary school and secondary school was art �
Me and my siblings were gifted a set of “Readers digest field guide of Britain” books in 1988 and I loved them all through my childhood and copied pictures from

them and I still have them and use them today. I hadn’t done any painting or drawings since secondary school really,apart from the odd doodles for the children over the years but decided to start doodling again this year with some pens then progressed onto watercolour which I love and am now also trying out coloured pencils and will be starting with acrylic in the new year too! I hope to expand next year to be selling more products ie mugs, coasters, calendars, greeting cards, baubles etc at the moment I’m just doing commissions and prints. Thankyou to everyone who’s supporting me on my journey, it really means a lot. Aimee �

I’ve been making mini illustrations of dog breeds, here are some of them.

Hoping to make them into ACEO/ATCs/mini art prints.

And also use the illustrations for greeting cards.

Hope you like them!

Suggest some dog breeds for me in the comments 🐾

I bought some new watercolour pencils as a little treat for passing my first year at university!

They arrived the other day, so I tested them out yesterday evening while tea was cooking.
I did quick little sketches of a bullfinch and a blue tit on cold pressed watercolour paper by CASS ART

Here’s the bullfinch so far, I’ll be adding a little more layers (not too many as I quite like the way it looks already ☺️), and maybe add a few little details with coloured pencils too.

Currently painting this little colourful bird, northern lapwing for Winsor & Newton artmail. I really like it so I will scan when it’s finished to get some prints made.
Artmail is where artists paint anything they like on a postcard sized piece then send it to Winsor&Newton HQ in London where it will be displayed on their website with loads of other postcard sized artworks of all kinds of subjects 😃
