Two more farm sketches

Our hope for a day of sketching more at the farm disappeared along with the good weather.

As there were cows on hand, so to speak, I decided to start with them. In fact this is one cow and several calves, two which have been abandoned by their mothers and one belonging to said cow.

A cow and calves. Felt tip pen and watercolour.

I then moved back to the riding arena (the family breed stock horses) and sketched this still life. The orange ‘ropes’ are slings used in conjunction with the heavy machinery for lifting things.

Farm equipment on the wall. Watercolour and pencil.

I especially love the cows. You captured the “cowness “ of them with such economy. No distractions or elaborations needed.

  Thanks Claudia! I knew I got something right when my brother in lawrecognised which calf was which and told me which calf belonged to the cow and told me the story of the other two.😀

  Thanks Emma. I really enjoyed drawing them so I would like to find some nearer to where I live to keep practicing.
