Sarah Dowson
Sherborne,My name is Sarah and my art journey started after I retired as a midwife some fifteen or so years ago.
In the beginning I created digital art, but soon developed an urge, deep down, to create it physically in a traditional way.
I started with graphite pencil moving on to soft pastels and pastel pencils, but I really wanted to try watercolour.
It was when I discovered Youtube that my watercolour journey began.
After watching hundreds of hours of video tutorials and hours of practice I have reached the standard of art that I create today, mostly with transparent watercolour and occasionally gouache, an opaque watercolour.
Recently, I added coloured pencils to my skill set, creating realistic art with each on its own, but often combining the two! Watercolour and coloured pencil, a marriage made in heaven!
My favourite subject is animal realism, both wildlife and pets. However, I often venture into the world of landscapes and botanicals too!

My art has found its way all over the world from the UK to Australia. Wildlife paintings, commissioned pet portraits and more.
Quote
Julie's ReviewAbsolutely love this. Just stunning detail, posture, expression, colours. It's as though this beautiful cat is about to step out the picture. I feel very proud and fortunate to be the new owner of this charismatic feline!
Paula's Review:
I'm a Geordie lass & a die hard ToonArmy fan so when I saw your painting it drew me to it like a magnet. I was so happy to see a pair of Magpies, they are beautiful. The quality far outreached my expectations. I love this painting, thank you.
Interests
In addition to my art, I love my pets both dogs and cats. The love and joy they give is immeasurable.I am a very practical kind of girl and I love to garden and cook.
