Few Vessels
« on: April 15, 2018, 01:21:30 PM »
Afternoon all
A few vessels recently finished, a big thanks to George Watkins for his kind advice to me, the smaller ones are 160mm high x 110mm at the widest, and the larger one is 185mm high x 125mm at its widest, as usual c&c welcome
all the best
Andy

Quite effective Andy, I am a sucker for monochrome work anyway. How have you apllied it? Looks like a combination of brush work and splatter effect?

These are really, really effective....they make me feel like an insect peering up through the grass on a rainy day.
 
Great work...Les

Education is important, but wood turning is importanter.

I instantly recognised George Watkins influence in these, but you've done very will in interpreting them in your own style.

Nice work

I used acrylic ink and pushed it around the surface with an empty airbrush

Well turned and finished Andy. Like the shape of the vases and the green and black colouring almost gives a 3D effect towards the base.
