Reconstructed Royal Marines Drum by Andrea Wood

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 13:53:24 MST

This originally was just a brass outer shell of a Royal Marine drum case found in an antique shop in the UK. My job was to reconstruct it by giving it an undercoat and fully painting the crest as you see it in the photograph. The drum is now fully frogged and has it's drumskin and is played for Royal Marine parades.

This is one of the skulls found at the archaeological dig at the Tomb of the Eagles on Orkney. This was one of the images I produced whilst trying to design a possible front cover for a guide book.

Photographed at the Museums and Heritgae Show at Earls Court, London, I used this image to create a more illustrative image, just something I used to practice Adobe Photoshop on!

With the building underway to house the newly dried out hulk of the Mary Rose Tudor Warship in Portsmouth, UK I put three illustrations together to submit as possible illustrations in the new museum. I was not lucky but my work is on display in the current museum, so I am not too dis-heartened!

A very large acrylic on board mural for a dear friend to take home. I painted a similar scene on his office wall and when he left the job, he wanted to take the mural too! This commission solved the problem. The ship is Ark Royal, now de- commissioned.
