1884
watercolor
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Sheep on a Common is a 1884 watercolor by Edmund Morison Wimperis, a Impressionism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a wide, open landscape with rolling hills in the distance. The sky is full of soft, fluffy clouds, and the ground looks patchy with grass and dirt. A few sheep are scattered across the field, grazing near a rocky outcrop. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a light, airy feel. This style was meant to capture how things look in real life, not perfectly drawn. If you like this, check out Realism next.
