WIP “GRASSHOPPER” SHEEP INCOGNITO

NEW SHEEP INCOGNITO PAINTING ON THE EASEL: “GRASSHOPPER”

 

this is a new painting I’ve started on this weekend – we have two shows happening this weekend in Nappanee, Indiana (Amish Acres Arts & Crafts Festival), and in Dublin, Ohio (Dublin Irish Festival), so we needed to beef up the walls of the booth…

 

Title: GRASSHOPPER

Size: 24″ x 48″

Media: Oils on canvas

 

Starting with a quick sketch of Burnt Umber thinned with orange oil, I first established the general shape and figure, then painted the background in.

Initially I thought a black sheep would be the best, but with the background being a bit darker, the contrast will be to weak – so I am adding a warmer, wool colored touch to the sheep, to make it look less cold and stand out more.

Add Another Show to the List

There is actually another show we will be attending on Thanksgiving weekend – muddleminded me had skipped over that one, even though it takes place with my favorite show promoters – Christmas Made in the South in Jacksonville, FL.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to visit with Sheep Incognito, see all the new flock members, and snag one of the few 2014 calendars we have left. Time is running out to get these to you before Christmas, so make sure you either snag one at the show, or hop by the website at www.charisma-art.com to place your order before they are sold out!
