Both our Limited Edition and Open Edition prints are individually reproduced from the original artwork on the outstanding 100% cotton Somerset Enhanced watercolour paper from St Cuthbert's Mill in the UK. This superb paper is heavy, mould made and archival (acid free). Combined with the lightfast pigment inks used by our specialist printer, these prints not only look every bit as good as the original but will also last a lifetime or longer. These prints are often referred to as 'giclee', and for best results should be treated in the same way as an original painting. Giclee prints have become very popular because of their longevity and affordability without compromising on outstanding quality.

Limited Editions - My earlier full size reproductions were released in editions of 200, each one personally approved, signed and numbered by the artist in pencil and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity. They will remain available until the edition closes, after which no more will be made. Limited Editions have a white border, and the actual image size depends on the dimensions of the original artwork. They are produced on either A3+ (19 x 13") or A4 (8.25" x 11.7") size paper. All of my limited edition prints are carefully wrapped in acid free tissue paper and supplied in a sturdy postal tube, which due to the quality of the papers we use ensures they arrive in perfect condition ready for mounting and framing.   

(Note : The following four prints were issued in Editions of 500 - Sitting Hen, Muscovy Ducks, Grizel (pig) and Rembrandt (Cockerel). All other details are as above).

Open Editions - I have only released Open Edition reproductions recently, a change which seems to suit me better and they have proved extremely popular which suggests my customers are happy with it to! There is no limit on the number which can be made, but the process and care taken in producing each print is no different to a Limited Edition, and each one is personally approved and signed by the artist. They are also supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity. Each print has a white border and they are produced on either 19" x 13" (A3+) or 8.25" x 11.7" (A4) size paper. My Open Edition prints are carefully wrapped in acid free tissue paper and supplied in a sturdy postal tube, which due to the quality of the paper we use ensures that they arrive in perfect condition ready for mounting and framing.

'Mini' Prints - These mounted prints are open editions produced on archival art paper using lightfast pigmented inks and make lovely gifts or a small scale home gallery for yourself! They are supplied ready mounted / matted to fit an 8" x 10" standard sized frame, with the actual image size being 6.5" x 4.5" and they are supplied flat packed.

ACEO Limited Edition Prints - These tiny reproductions are released in very limited editions of only 25 worldwide, and are made from my original small format paintings in exactly the same way as my larger fine art prints, using pigmented inks and archival watercolour paper. (ACEO stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals and they are all 3.5" x 2.5"). My prints are supplied in a protective acid free sleeve and packaged in an attractive gold envelope. Each one is initialled on the front, and signed and numbered on the back and they come with a Certificate of Authenticity. They are highly collectable, and you can display them in any way you choose - I have some in tiny custom made frames and they look terrific on the wall! Original small paintings are also available, and a donation is made to charity with the sale of each painting or print through my involvement with Art Helping Animals. Please email to order.

Gift Vouchers - A lot of people buy my prints as presents, but it isn't always easy to decide which one to choose. It can sometimes mean also having to post it again once you receive it - as well as the problem of leaving everything until the last minute! You can now order a special Gift Certificate for your chosen amount which will be emailed immediately to the recipient anywhere in the world (or you can print it out and deliver it personally if you prefer). Either way, they can then browse through this website at their leisure and select their favourite print or prints for despatch the following day. Problem solved!

Aftercare - Please treat your print in the same way as you would treat an original watercolour painting. It should be framed under glass behind a mount / matt (to prevent the paper surface touching the glass), and preferably hung out of direct sunlight.

Framing - Your local framer will be able to help you with the choice of suitable frame and mount, although the 'mini' print range are supplied ready mounted to fit a standard 8" x 10" frame that can be chosen and purchased inexpensively 'off the shelf' from many stores.

Mail Order Framing Service - Alternatively, professional framer Eric Rose at Your Art Pictures offers a top quality framing service by mail order. He already frames some of my work for sale through his gallery (on show on his website) and will be happy to provide any suggestions or assistance with the choice of mount and frames before you purchase.

 

If you have any questions or queries, please get in touch by email for a speedy reply.
