Another sneak peek of part of the butterfly mural. I will get onto uploading the YouTube video soon I hope! Today I'm currently restocking prints, making some brand new prints, and later teaching drawing in charcoal. Busy but fun times. I imagine all you artists are just the same!

Another watercolour demo from before Christmas. This may be my favourite watercolour one I've done so far with this method. It turned into woodlands and a stream! What do you think? #watercolourillustration #watercolourtrees #watercolourart #watercolourartist

A little sneak preview of a big butterfly mural I painted at the start of the year for a little girl's bedroom. Look out for the video! Hoping to have it up by Sunday on YouTube. #butterflymural #butterflymagazine #artshare #butterflyartwork #muralforbedroom #muralforkids #bumblebee #bumblebeeart

CALL TO ACTION: CREATIVES COMMENT YOUR BUSINESS GOAL FOR 2020 TO GET A MENTION ON THE ART SHOW ON WELCOME RADIO THIS SATURDAY! What is this strange art Sarah has just posted? Actually, here is a kind of personal one, but it is linking to my business too. For my radio show on Saturday, I am collecting artists' and crafters' goals for the year. Mine is to find a way to continue my art business, with a baby here! So far I have joined an illustrators website (illustration looks like something I could do at home when baby is sleeping or is my husband's turn to look after them) and booked a village hall to start an evening class once a fortnight (I probably won't be able to keep my day classes with baby here 🙁, so evening class may be just the thing 😁). If you would like your business mentioned on The Art Show this Saturday, comment below with your business goal for the year and the story behind it or how you plan to do it! Listen in live at 11am by clicking the Listen Live button on www.welcomberadio.co.uk, and hopefully you will get a mention! 😁 And it won't cost you a thing. GO ON, DO IT NOW! Sarah x

So so pleased with Monday's class at @themillartscentre. My work is the demo in the top right corner, showing a way in to draw animal figures in more complex position and movement. We all left smiling ear to ear. 😁😍 Tip: use 3D shapes to help describe the form of your figure, particularly when the figure isn't in profile (profile is a typical pose for beginners to choose as the body shapes appear flatter). #draw #drawinglessons #howtodrawanimals #animalfigures #teachart

I think this may still be my favourite painting I've ever done, inspired by #redridinghood with a wolf hidden in the moon (or is it an eye watching Red?). The original sold back in the summer, and now I think I must do some more woodland paintings. Any ideas? I'm thinking along the lines of Robin Hood...etc. Xx

'Rainbow Waves' was finished off after demonstrating methods of painting waves in oils. I didn't really plan to use rainbow 🌈 colours; it just started to happen and I went with it! What do you think?

What a great time on The Art Show this morning. Could have listened to Rupe @art_busker and his musician friends all day. If you missed it, look out for repeats on Welcombe Radio website.

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
