My art teacher suggested I took a look at Sarah Graham as a style I should try. Her work is phenomenally realistic, so I am building myself up to trying something, but i can imagine that this will be a hard task! I love how the colours bring the pictures to life and it creates a buzz of excitement to the canvas. It adds a cheery something to my day.

I always wonder how it is even possible to create such paintings that look this realistic.

We've all played with marbles and this picture takes me straight back to marble runs!
