From the Shadows; May the Force be With Ewe ... by Mark Braithwaite
Location: somewhere deep in Yorkshire
Painted in mixed media on watercolour on paper.
Mark got some new Opal paints at Christmas, and had some fun combining two of his favourite things - film and Yorkshire. The Death Star hovering over Yorkshire - either a bad dream or the ultimate in fan art!
The Opal paints have been used on the Death Star, looming in the sky overhead. The unusual paint gives an iridescent effect, changing tone from different angles.
Following on from the success of his 'Zombie Apocalypse' series, Gallery Resident Artist Mark Braithwaite has expanded the range to create the 'From the Shadows' collection, of other supernatural beings and mystical happenings. York is the most haunted city in Europe after all, so he's not short of inspiration!
Mark tells us "This is the latest in my fun series of ghostly illustrations, 'From the Shadows' painted in watercolour and mixed media. In the sky I have used Schminke Horadam Supergranulation watercolours which made the unusual skies happen!"
The painting has been mounted in a stylish white mount with a black core. The outer mount measures 40x40cm; a standard metric size. The painting can be framed in a wide distressed black, wood and glass frame.
Prints are also available directly from the artist.
