Description

The 21 production paintings (11 x 14 inch lithographs) of characters and places in Star Wars reflect various changes in visual concepts as well as the evolving story line. The originals were done in a combination of opaque gouache and acrylic on illustration board mounted on hardboard. Each painting is accompanied by a brief description of the subject and comments about the action shown.
