A Landscape Painting in Acrylics with a mad looking
Sheep which tried to stare me out the Yorkshire Sculpture
Park in West Bretton, near Wakefield in west Yorkshire.
The Sheep roam free in part of the park amongst the
outdoor sculptures by Henry Moore. This one I think
was being protective of its young.
Landscape & Sheep Painting Technique:
The Sheep painting was done with Acrylic Paint
diluted quite thinly and applied in transparent washes
like a Watercolour Painting onto hardboard given a
bright white coating of Acrylic Gesso. Lots of white
space is left in the picture, giving it a sketchy feel, like
something you may have just glimpsed from the corner
of your eye.
