In conjunction with Art Around Napa and the Napa Valley Mustard Celebration 40 artists have painted 40 sheep!
I painted my sheep using watercolor. First I applied Daniel Smith Watercolor Ground Titanium White medium in a textured pattern on the wood sheep. Once dry, I painted on top of the watercolor medium, which helps the surface to behave like watercolor paper. Finally, I used a matte spray coat varnish to protect the painted sheep, applying the varnish in 3 coats. The sheep is double sided.
Each sheep is available to bid on from February 22 through March 30 online (see link below).
The sheep will be located at businesses throughout Napa for Art Around Napa - Feb 22 & 23
All sheep will move as a flock for the Napa Valley Mustard Celebration at CIA Copia - March 29 & 30 for Final Bidding.
Proceeds go toward the artists and nonprofits.
