World famous Bristol artist spends hours on incredible tribute to the Queen

An artist from Bristol has spent hours creating a realistic digital portrait in a tribute to the Queen, who passed away last week.

John Donaldson, 43, is a former decorator from St Anne’s Park whose artwork has captured people’s attention across the world. The Kingswood-based artist - who has amassed more than 43,000 followers on Instagram - rose to acclaim after working with US rapper Snoop Dog around five years ago. He is commissioned by people in Bristol and all over the world for his realistic paintings.

His first-ever portrait of Queen Elizabeth II was painted using an iPad - and he spent four days working between the hours of 6am until midnight to complete it.
