Since having to teach watercolours to one of my groups, I'm finding that I'm enjoying creating wild looking countryside, especially woodlands or anyplace where it looks like fairies might live there! This piece has lots of texture and pattern, which I think has come out really well! Let me know what you think, or if you're interested in it of course. #artforsale #landscapepainting #watercoloursketching #watercolourpainting #wildplaces #wildart #wherethefairieslive #illustration #watercolourillustration

Really chuffed with my 10 year old student and the hard work she has put into the private lessons we've had. This is just a small selection of her work. Isn't she great! #artteachers #privateartteacher #charcoaldrawing #kidsartwork #arttutor #animalart #tonaldrawing #tonalart #blackandwhite #blackandwhitedrawing #blackandwhiteart #learntodraw

I shall soon be ordering new cards with my artwork on. Any pictures you would like to see as a card? So far I have requests for Red Riding Hood, Billy Goats Gruff, Beauty and the Beast, and Winter Magic. Let me know soon.

My classes have taken a Halloween/ Harvest theme recently, and loads of cheeky charcoal! Here are the results of my Monday Maker class, held @themillartscentre in #banbury 3pm-4:30pm. I am pleased to say that many minds have been opened up to the brilliance of using charcoal this term! I think it's one of the best ways to learn about tone. I have now made dinner with the onions in the still life for tonight, but had to use my neighbour's stove as mine broke :( That made an odd but fun and social morning! I saw my neighbours had a little family of pumpkins in their hall, so as I didn't know what else to do with mine, I expanded their 🎃 family with mine! What fun we have on my road. #charcoal #charcoaldrawing #tone #tonaldrawing #teachingtone #teachingdrawing #howtodraw #stilllife #stilllifedrawing #pumpkin #pumpkinart #harvest #halloween #halloweenart #learntodraw

The final painting! So pleased with it, and very glad my auntie loves it too! Let me know what you think! If you have an idea you'd like commissioned, just drop me a message. #giraffes #giraffelovers #commissionpainting #oilpainters #giraffesofinstagram #wildlife #giraffeportrait #animalportrait #africananimals #africananimalart #sarahmilesartstudio #africanart #indianafricanwildlife

This was a quick acrylic sketch for a commission for my auntie as a surprise present. The final piece is coming up! #acrylicsketch #giraffe #giraffes

Looking out for a home! I've been learning and teaching watercolour techniques for the last few months, and this autumnal painting is a result of that. If you like the style, I have done lots of learning from Ann Blockey's books. What do you think? #autumnart #autumn #watercoloursketching #watercolours #watercolor #watercolourpaint #sarahmilesartstudio #arttutor

Last weekend I interviewed Kineton Art Group on The Art Show for Welcombe Radio. Their exhibition starts this weekend... Go see it at Kineton Village Hall between 10am and 5pm on Saturday and Sunday. #kinetonartists #artexhibitions #artexhibition #warwick #warwickshireartist

Saturday 11am-12pm I will be interviewing members of Kineton Art Group, who created this brilliant piece of artwork of their village. Tune in to The Art Show online on Welcombe Radio to hear about this group, who are personally very special to me too. #theartshow #welcomberadio #kinetonartists #kineton #kinetonartgroup #art #promotingart #radioforartists

At the Welcombe Radio studio today, with Val Rainbow who will be interviewing artist Henrietta Brooks. Henrietta will be talking about her work, especially printing and watercolours. Listen in now at Welcombe Radio online, and click 'listen now'. PS, I have found out this session that Val used to be a clown and a belly dancer! What other surprises will she share I wonder... #theartshow #welcomberadio

Didn't the kids do a great job with colour mixing and painting this mandala! We know there is one missing section, one of the children said she would paint that in next week! What do you think? #mandala #mandalaart #mandalaartwork #colourfulmandala #artkids #artteachers #artteacher #artsandcrafts #coloursplash #colourpop #acrylicpainting #colourtheory #colourmixing #schoolartproject

It's interesting seeing what a mixture of the teaching artist's style and your own style can make. A class watches an artist's way of working, but I reckon at the end of the class, even though there is some of the style of the teaching artist in all the work, we could still probably tell which student painted what. That would be a fun game. This is a shout out to Stephen Ashurst. I did not find an IG or his own website for him, but if you Google his name, you will find his work on a few other sites. #stephenashurst #portraitartists #portraitpainter #oilportrait #portrait #workshop #artworkshops #artworkshops #artshare
