New sheep paintings.

Im working on 8 sheep paintings. I think its 8, they won’t keep still for me to count them - makes a change from flock wallpaper, doesn’t it?

I love sheep, and they make a beautiful subject for my oil paintings. Im hoping to work on some pieces with rare breed sheep in the future, I just have to find some of these lovely animals on my travels!

If you are interested in commissioning an original painting of sheep, whether a specialist rare breed or otherwise, do get in touch. Here is my page all about ordering a bespoke painting from me. These custom paintings make a really special gift for a big birthday or special occasion.

Oil paints are so 'squidgy' and nice to blend. Before I started videoing, I had already placed light and dark paint on top of the dry underlayer. Here Im doing some blending with a cleanish brush. Once Im happy with this layer, Ill leave it to dry and next time Ill add some more detail and textures.
Im using: Ultramarine Blue, Cerulean Blue, Cadmium Orange, Magenta, Cadmium Yellow Deep and Lemon Yellow and Titanium White. Cad Orange and Cerulean Blue mixed makes a nice sheep colour.
