Title: Hey Brain, Familiar with Graham Turner?
Post by: Admiral Yi on November 19, 2012, 11:41:27 PM
I picked up a copy of Military Heritage at the book store today.  Has an article on The War of the Roses, and heavily features the paintings of Graham Turner.  The paintings look a little too clean for my taste, would prefer more blood and mud, but they're supposed to be very accurate, and they are well executed.

Wondered if you are familiar with his work and what thoughts, if any, you have.

He's got some very nice looking work.  His preference for Yorkists and Richard III is fantastic. :wub:

I love his work in various Osprey WotR titles. My favorite Osprey artist, I much prefer him to say Angus McBride whose style I find too cartoony for historical stuff. I could possibly see myself having one of his pics on my wall.

The sculptors making the WotR models I'm painting in the minis thread are heavily influenced by the Osprey WotR books, btw.
