The latest from Mike Lawrence’s PYROGRAPHY section:

 

Lest We Forget

WW1 British Army in the trenches.

This burn took quite a few hours to complete, there were a lot of tones and textures to portray. 

Troops lined up to go over the top, and started off the trench sides, trying to depict the narrow rough channels they moved through.

The silhouette of the first soldier over the top and the next man scrambling up the trench side, top detailing now concentrated on the barbed wire and smoke above the trench.

The final burning of the plume of smoke coming from the battlefield drew this burn to an end, very different from previous subjects but I was happy how the scene turned out, and a burn that has so much emotion behind it.
