Golden Helicon

Description

The Golden Helicon butterfly has a variety of names, some call it the Tiger Longwing or the Hecale Longwing. Others know it as the Hecale Longwing, the Golden Longwing or the Golden Heliconian. I just know it as a beautiful butterfly and one that I very much enjoyed painting. I can see where the reference to tigers came in, such striking oranges, blacks and whites. They stand out against the vivid coloured leaf – well I think it is a leaf, it is so difficult to tell!

A bit about me:
I am a full time professional artist based in North Devon in the United Kingdom. Specialising in wildlife – animals, birds, insects and botanical studies, I love to capture the life within my paintings. I very much enjoy the process of working with the watercolour medium to create fine detail. My portfolio is ever expanding and many of my paintings are available as tutorials – both written and video. Take a look on my channels, and you may see this painting being created, maybe even have a go yourself!
Thank you for browsing my work, and I look forward to hearing from you.
