Original artwork description:

This painting depicts two examples of classic plastic water pistols, one in fluorescent green and one in pink, set against my usual sky blue background.

I love the idea of turning these often throwaway toy items that you may get in a children's party bag into a piece of colourful pop art that you can own and display forever. I've employed the repeating style often used by pop artists like Andy Warhol, by using a stencil and hand painting the rest.

The end result is a bold, bright, and very summery painting that would brighten up any room in the house.

It is painted in acrylics and Posca pen on a stretched cotton canvas that's ready to hang. The final image shows this work alongside a similar painting in my shop.

Size -
8.3 inches x 11.7 inches
21 cm x 29 cm
Roughly 1.5 cm thick

I've been inspired to create work like this by classic pop artists like Andy Warhol, David Hockney, and Patrick Caulfield, but also by modern graphic designers.

Postage will be tracked first class in a reinforced cardboard envelope.

Materials used:

Acrylic Paint, Posca Pens, Stretched Cotton Canvas, Paintbrush
