The sheep's face emerges with a meek and slightly melancholic expression, almost as if looking through a morning mist.
 The figure is defined by shades of Ochre, Light Brown and Grey Green, with a ground that dissolves into spots of Ice Blue and Pale Purple.
 The real protagonist is the fleece, rendered through a surprising grainy and crystallized texture.

 The work is embellished by the skillful use of salt and granulating pigments that create an irregular and tactile surface, perfectly simulating the texture of fleece and the effect of frost or fog.
 Touches of blue and purple add a sense of mystery and depth.
 Your space will gain in calm, authenticity and a rustic chic atmosphere, thanks to the perfect balance created between the earthy tones and the ethereal effect of the background.

 This work was created entirely by hand, celebrating the magic of watercolor and its ability to render the texture of wool with layers of transparent color and granulation techniques.
