The Plural Is Lego

The Plural Is Lego
Acrylic On Canvas Paper
9.7 x 15.9"

     A bit of a pet peeve of mine is when I hear people use Lego's as a plural. The plural of Lego is Lego and I don't care what anyone says otherwise :)

Lego Jango Fett Minifigure

Lego Jango Fett Minifigure
Acrylic On Canvas Paper
15.9 x 8.3"

     My second Lego minifigure painting. I'm working my way up to Boba Fett but I want to do him justice as he's my favourite Star Wars character. So here's his father. I wanted to paint him from the side as I liked the single part jetpack design. I also wanted to paint him facing away from the light to create a little mystery.

An interesting set of buildings in Doncaster. I was interested in the reflected light on the yellow building on the right.

     Nice little river scene and good green practice. Shame about the photograph but it’s the best I could do

Spring Flowers

Graphite, Gesso And Watercolour On Paper
15.9 x 11"

     I've been pushing a new technique recently of creating a tonal drawing in graphite and washing watercolour over it. I like the fact that the gesso corrections resist the watercolour and create some abstract elements. I never was a fan of watercolour but this way of working means I have a use for it now.

Gnarled Tree

Gnarled Tree
Drypoint
11.7 x 8.3"

     I love trees. So much character. I might make a painting of this one later. Instead of ink I used watersoluble wax for this one. I rubbed it into the burr to create the colours. I might try and develop this technique further.
