Apologies to the King in advance, let’s hope I haven’t just committed treason! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Today at my little weekly art group, it was caricature day and our muse - K. Charles. Oil pastel on paper.

Although not my usual style of drawing or painting, it was quite a lot of fun enhancing and exaggerating features and have a little fun! It’s left me feeling quite 🤪!

I hope you enjoy it 🤞

What’s on the canvas?

Underpainting using marker pens, key values in greyscale for now…

Subject: A little revisit to a beautiful trip to Portugal with James and his daughter Emily in 2017…

A peek through the window of Castle São Jorge in Lisbon. My husband and I are in love with this city, the Portuguese and everything related. Maybe one day we’ll retire there?! 🤔

Keep watching for updates on this little numbaaaa… it may not look much now, but let’s keep our 🤞 I can transform into a vision of warm sun, terracotta roof tops and Mediterranean vibes! ☀️

Peace out ✌🏻 for now friends xx 😘

Want to win a stunning print by this very talented artist? 😻

Thank you all for all the voting over the weekend to choose the prize! It was a very close call in the end, but Prudence just pipped Hilda to the post and so here she is looking very pleased with herself!
🐮🤩You may be aware that Prudence has a soft spot for pretty much any sweet treat, so to be in with a chance of winning her just let me know in the comments what pudding you'd share with her on arrival!

The prize is a 20" unframed print of Prudence, worth £85. 🥳

You can enter as many times as you want, the winner will be drawn at random from all entries on FB and Insta and notified in a separate post on Friday.

NB☣️ Last time I posted there was a scammer with a fake account pretending to be me, telling people they had won in the comments, if this happens again please do not click the link. I have tried to get FB to take down the accounts but it's taking longer than anticipated! Please report any comments to FB, and i will go through and remove if they turn up again! Sorry about this!

Now good luck to one and all! 🍀As usual bonus points for shares and tags and love for each other's puds! 🥰
