Inspired by the changing light over a day's sketching at Abbotsbury Swannery on a winter's day.
Collage made with my own original hand printed papers which are printed on acid free papers presented on board sealed and varnished, and presented in a chunky white frame

As each print is hand inked and wiped there will be some minor variations between prints. Equally with mono prints although the same colours and format may be produced on several prints each one will contain very individual marks making it a unique print.
All of my work is produced on acid free printmaking papers I am particularly keen on Somerset and Snowdon. For collage I use acid free archival quality pva fixative and for inking I use Akua Intaglio inks wonderfully environmentally friendly inks which clean up easily with soap and water because it is Soy based. All inks have a standard lightfast reading. As with any original artwork strong direct sunlight may fade colours over time.
Sometimes it is very difficult to reproduce the exact colours through photography so your original print may vary slightly in colour from that on your computer screen.
