One of my ‘Crazy Little People’ projects of King Henry VIII and his six unfortunate wives. Now framed and hanging above the toilet. I prefer painting them in oils these days #thetudors #tudors #medieval #anneboyleyn #sculpture #art #artist #hevercastle #polymerclay

Here is my recently completed oil painting of Queen Anne Boleyn. I have used Holbein's Windsor sketch as my reference. I chose this particular Holbein sketch to paint because, in my opinion, it is the most accurate depiction of Anne still in existence. #anneboleyn #thetudors #history #oilpainting

Now drying ready to be varnished later. Anne Boleyn Queen of England, executed in May 1536 for alleged treason and adultery, sketched by Hans Holbein possibly to become a miniature painting for Henry VIII, her husband. #history #thetudors #anneboleyn #oilpainting #holbein #portrait #art #artist

I’m not sure if botanical art is really my thing but I did a couple of recent studies in pastels and they turned out ok. #botanicalart #botanicals #artists #art #flowers

Have I turned invisible on here? 🤷‍♂️

I’m waiting for my Anne Boleyn in oils to dry so I can do the final touches, so I’ve started another portrait in pastels. I’m once again in turmoil over the fur Holbein sketched on her arms. Should I go with black fur or ermine this time? #tudors #history #historian #art #artist #realism #anneboleyn

I am such a sucker for a kitten. This little Pickle is my daughters new cat, he’s been keeping them awake at night running around the house going crazy 😂🐈‍⬛

Work in progress.. another eye study, this time a horse. Pastel pencils on Pastelmat. #fineart #traditionalmediums #pastels #horses #art #Sunday

Henry VIII gifted Anne Boleyn a dressing gown in 1532 made of black satin and trimmed with velvet which took more than twelve yards of material, highlighting Henry's extravagant spending on her. And now for the fur on her arms. I have chosen to paint sable which was reserved for nobility.

Day 2 of trying to recreate Anne Boleyn in oils using the Windsor Holbein sketch as a reference. #tudors #anneboleyn #history #historicalart #portraits #artist

Portraits are hard 🤨 This one was an art class study but it had to be freehand using largish brushes. This doesn’t sit well with me, I really prefer precision. Given the choice I’d have used a grid for this and got the dimensions spot on. #artists #portraits #movies #marilynmonroe #paintings

Another black and white free hand study in acrylics. 30x30cms #blueskyartshow #blackandwhite #marilynmonroe #acrylicpainting #portraits #portraitpainting #art

No confirmed portraits have yet been discovered of Anne Boleyn that were painted of her while she was alive, but this particular sketch by Hans Holbein really excites me because many believe that this could be her. It’s known as ‘The Windsor Sketch’, and I’m going to try to bring it to life.

I’ve been painting a picture ❤️ #blackandwhite #painting #portraits #blueskyartshow #art

Another art class study in acrylics. Free hand from a reference photo in black and white with a one inch brush for the under drawing and shading. Then a smaller round brush for the details. #portraitartist #art #blackandwhite #kent #artclass

I made this portrait for my best friend whose beloved dog had sadly passed away at an old age. Vivid background because she absolutely adores all things pink 💕💖🌸💖💕 #jackrussell #petportraits #art #pastels #dogs

#Acrylic #painting of a male #peacock displaying his beautiful tail feathers. I love to use bright colours in my work, sometimes I don't even mix I just use #paint straight from the tube. I need to work on that lol. #blueskyartshow #art #artist #fineart #birds #artsky #uk #originalart #england

I painted a postcard for the SAA Paint & Create magazine and they published it. I’m chuffed! This is what it feels like to be famous 😂😳😂 #painting #artist #famous

Inquisitive paws ruin pastel drawings so I have to cover my art when I leave the room or risk getting some paw shaped smudges.

It’s my anxiety, somebody’s watching me. Showing my #RhodesianRidgeback my latest #artwork ❤️🐾

Would any of you kind people follow me on #instagram ? I’ve only got 369 followers on there which is a bit pants. Very hard to be seen there 🙁 I follow back ❤️ #follow #art www.instagram.com/sarahpd229?i...

I love the art class I go to. My teacher really knows how to get me doing stuff out of my normal comfort zone. I’d requested we might do a study of a human eye (see photo). This is the work in progress. I hate freehand drawing but she made me do it anyway telling me I’m capable. #pastels #art #eyes

My sunset this Sunday evening ❤️

Walking my Ridgebacks we came across an injured Rook. At first I thought he might be drunk on rotting apples from the orchard, so I ushered him into the long grass and left him for 2 hours to see if he might recover. When I checked later he was gone. Later that night I couldn’t believe my eyes…..
