Description British Sherman tank and crew during a lull in the fighting in France 1944

This is a commisioned piece for someone. It was done in the style of a colour plate like the illustrations you see in history books, hence no background was added so that the main subject matter stands out

Watercolour , inks.

A nice study using one of my favourite mediums, ink and watercolour.

It's always good to see another artist doing the same subject, can't find enough of you guys.

BlackMonk13 [2009-05-28 12:58:56 +0000 UTC]

very nice !
you said, you will draw a set of them ?
you are painting very much dystopic pictures, why don't you draw a few scenes from a futuristic war ?
I'd like to see this
But only if you want, I admire your paintings.

PeteAshford In reply to BlackMonk13 [2009-05-28 14:13:20 +0000 UTC]

yeah,im hoping to produce a set of at least 6 of them to start off with. Futuristic war? I'll see what I can do, Terminator Salvation will be out soon, plenty of inspiration in that me thinks!
