A fairly quick sketch completed in between working. I’m looking to develop and push more in this direction.
Sheep skull
It’s freezing in the studio today. We’re waiting for logs to be delivered for the wood burner so I’ve resorted to biting scrap frames abs what-not. Just about warm enough to paint this oil sketch of a sheep’s skull. Some of it is not quite […]

Wales 2018 ***SOLD***
