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.

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

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.

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’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

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.

This monkey is almost done.
I’ll look at her with fresh eyes when I get back and see if anything needs tweaking.
