Black headed sheep

Comments

Good one David ... and so small!

Hugely impressive for such a small size, but excellent whatever the size.

I wouldn’t have spotted that until you pointed out, David. Some breads do have big heads. Good painting, anyway.

Thanks for your encouragement Heather , Lewis and Katy. I came across these sheep grazing on the greenest of green sheep last week and had to go home and have a go at them the next day.

Your sheep look mighty fine to me David. It might be a Tup, I think they tend to be thicker set. Look good anyway.

Thanks Fiona , I just learned a Tup is a Ram ! Yes could well be - some of them definitely were.

This is so good to be so small. The sheep look great to me and I love the radiance of the green background David.

Small postcard sized watercolour and gouache 6x4" painting. I'm told I got the head too large - but I think I got the neck too thin and long and the resting body a bit out of shape . Anyway better luck next time.
