At the Dutchess County Fair this weekend, I find a Southdown ewe lamb that could make a good model. She's wearing a coat to keep her clean after being slick shorn and washed. (Link to video on YouTube)
The limited palette of gouache includes white, yellow ochre, ultramarine blue, purple, and red. I skip the drawing stage and dive right in with the brush, working out the big shapes immediately.
The great thing about gouache is that if I find a mistake in my reckoning, I can easily fix it as I go.
The painting takes a little over an hour, compressed into about a minute of time in the time lapse sequence above.
I'm using a new camera, the mirrorless Canon EOS M6
, which has a built-in time lapse function.
