For the title of this work I also thought about 'Poor sheep' because I have tried to draw - or better not to draw - the white sheep in the high grasses.
With 'not to draw' I mean that the sheep are almost white and using charcoal I have to take care that I do not make the paper black or grey or even grey-ish where the sheep are.
When I went out to make my reference picture, the grass had been mowed so I just had to rely on my memory from a week earlier.
The pollard willows are also part from memory part from reference. The reference picture was made in the Parc area close to our home where several lines of pollard willows are to be found with various lengths of branches.
The weather is also from memory, we usually don't go for a nice short walk when the clouds look like this.
I wanted to make a drawing with dark clouds, rain, pollard willows and sheep and I am really happy with the result.
The information about the materials I have used, the size and availability of this work and - if you are interested in my original artwork - my contact information can all be found in my Tumblr blog.
