Medium
Pastel - Oil Pastel And Colored Pencil On Sanded Paper
Description
This oil pastel artwork depicts a portrait of a majestic bighorn sheep and prominently displays the ram's thick, curled horns that spiral out from its head. The animal’s fur is thick and shaggy, with warm brown tones accented by highlights of white and grey. The background of the artwork is a blur of bluish color to accentuate the reddish brown coat of the sheep.
From the artist: While not my first image to feature a bighorn sheep, it’s one of my rarer subject matters. I spend a great deal of time on the horns for this one as I wanted to capture their complexity.
The original is 9.5” x 11.75” on Clairefontaine Pastelmat. It was made using professional grade Sennelier oil pastels, and Faber Castell Polychromos colored pencils. It has been fixed with 4 coats of Sennelier fixative for oil pastels.
Thanks for looking!
