  • These colorful, whimsical watercolor sheep were inspired by our little flock of Jacob sheep, and particularly by Larry, who loves his hay and who we found with a pile of it on his head the other day. In this painting he's joined by his mum and his sister, and the three of them are standing under their Christmas stockings waiting for Santa.

    On the subject of voice overs or not, I believe most of us love the ongoing commentary from you! Voice overs tend to be so impersonal. We love your stories, side-lines, opinions and humor. It’s part of the package tutorials you offer us. XOXO❤️

    What a wonderful way to celebrate some of my favorite sheep. For twenty years, my best friends over the years were bum wethers. And I always felt that they felt was their best friend. The last was Bear. He, like Pooh, was not very bright but had a big and generous heart. And he was goofy. Everyone who knew my sheep loved Bear.

    I love your commentary; so please keep that, even if it makes the videos longer. I love how free this painting is. It’s so playful! The string across the tops of the trees reminds me of the Christmas tree sales lots we have here. They often run a string of lights around the outside of the lot, sometimes from tree to tree. So, to me, it almost looks like the sheep are out shopping for a Christmas tree! 😄 It wouldn’t be unusual for there to be other Christmas decorations hanging about either, including stockings. When we were painting a bird a day, I put the eyes too low on one. I had a think and decided to turn the eyes into sunglasses and penned in some eyes above the sunglasses so it looked like the bird was looking out over the top of the glasses. I loved the results! 😄

    • @DianeAntoneStudio

      Hi Karma and thanks so much for your kind comments! So glad you’re enjoying the videos and don’t worry, I will keep them as lengthy as they need to be! Great to hear how they decorate the tree lots. We don’t see much of that here as trees are low profile in France. But I remember it from Canada! Great idea about the eyes on the bird. I’ll remember that!! Wishing you a wonderful Christmastide!

      Oh well, sorry about that! I tend to look on these painting videos as just ideas that people can interpret in their own way. When I look on our group on Facebook and see the wonderful versions that folks create by taking my prompt and developing it with care into something special, I do feel it's all worthwhile. Often their versions are much better than my original painting. I always work in real time, rather than pretending that what took me half an hour actually only took three minutes, like some of the tutors out there. So that's why sometimes the paintings seem to be somewhat hastily finished, to keep to the shortish timeframe people (and RUclips) expect. The idea of this painting was based on three whimsical Jacobs sheep like the other ones I've done this year, only this time in different colored coats (like Jacob and his Amazing Technicolored Dreamcoat) and with their stockings hanging up for Santa. The painting details weren't important to me. I'd love to see your version of this painting on Facebook sometime! Seasons greetings and keep well! xx
