Farm life in the frame: Amy Bateman’s Cumbria landscape photography – in pictures
The Herdwick has, through generations of breeding, adapted to the conditions of the Lakeland fells: to the harsh climate, the nutrient-poor grasses, the variable topography. Numbers have been controlled by the landscape; if a shepherd grazed too heavily the sheep either starved or became so malnourished they failed to lamb.

Herdwick sheep | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing. My sketches start life as hand-drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch. The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavyweight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations. Very limited editions with only ten per size printed. All artwork is signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The A5 are 5.8" x 8.25" (14.8cm x 21cm) The A4 are 8.25" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.8cm) The A3 are 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) The A2 are 16.5" x 23.4" (42 cm x 59.4cm) Originals are A3 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) Frames not included in price. Free shipping on artwork to all destinations. https://www.seanbriggs.co.uk/product/herdwick-sheep/?feed_id=3524&_unique_id=661f6d2ce3321

H0w'd y0u uhm, h0wd you get in h3re 4nyw4y?
//"Howd you uhm, howd you get in here anyway?"//
Van. Unless you mean how I got the possibility to even be here, quite frankly, curiosity. Also I wanna see if I could recover whatever old memories I seem to be withholding from myself, I want to know who I was...

These are my favourite sheep!! There called Herdwick’s and mostly known for their little smiles! These sheep can be found in the Coniston area of the Lake District.
They were on the brink of extinction before Beatrix Potted, the writer of Peter Rabbit, saved them from near extinction by breeding them over multiple farms and kept them under protection even in her will!
I hope you can learn to love these little guys as much as I do. I will continue to post more Lake District content and I hope you enjoy them!
