Video demonstration of the Oil painting of an Elephant and baby
Just made this video and uploaded it to my new channel: Art by Nkolika Anyabolu.
YouTube is looking very different now. There is this new design called "The YouTube One" design and it feels and looks very much like Facebook with page updates and new posts. I kind of like the old look....maybe I am being a bit old fashioned!!
Nevertheless, I would like to invite you to watch this belated video of the Step by step demonstration of the Oil painting of an Elephant and baby.
I did this painting a while back and wrote several posts with regards to the steps and the materials I used. Somehow I never got round to making the video.
It was fun getting to make a video after such a long time.
I have always loved this work and as a mother, it evokes a lot of emotion in me.
The original painting was displayed for public viewing for the first time at the Pine Walk Art Exhibition in June 2013. There are also greeting cards and prints on original art paper available to buy from my shop
Please feel free to leave your comments as these would be highly appreciated.

A Painting surface or support is the surface on which paint is applied and it depends on the kind of painting media (i: e paint) you have chosen to use. There are different types of painting surfaces or supports that can be used for painting e: g canvas, hard board, paper or even a wall.
Acrylic paint is very beautiful but can be very annoying and frustrating to use. Somehow when I was starting off in my world of painting I thought acrylic paint could be applied to any surface (I do not know where I got that notion!), but I soon discovered it is not true.
Watercolour is a very clean medium to use. It is not as messy as Oil or Acrylic and there are no solvents to work with thus making it very safe and child friendly too.
This video was shot while in my painting studio creating a painting of a Field of Daisies with Acrylics. Hope you enjoy it.
This is a video showing the progress I made when I was creating an Acrylic painting of an African village. It was painted on canvas board.
This video shows me at work creating a Flower bed painting with Acrylics. This is a speed painting from the beginning to the end. Hope you enjoy it.
This is research addressing questions about protected characteristics with honesty and transparency. The aim was to produce an equality and diversity factsheet that would help to inform Wessex Appraisal Services. We know that the healthcare profession tends to attract diversity and the findings from this research show doctors in Dorset and Hampshire are more ethnically diverse (23%) compared to the population (4.4%) as well as Nationally (13%). We hope that through these results doctors would be able to recognise they have shared characteristics thus they are not alone.
