I draw and paint animal portraits. I specialise in Cumbrian animals, in particular, the Herdwick sheep and Belted Galloway cows we farm at Yew Tree in Coniston.
I plan to use the sheep raddle powder we use on our Herdwicks at Yew Tree farm, to mix up an acrylic paint to use to draw /paint designs of herdwicks onto the main herdwick model. The designs will be applied in such a way that they will look like the sheep model is marked with traditional ‘smit’!
