Delivery - Watercolour Prints

All prints are individually signed and finished with a painted fish. My fish signature developed from swift brush work on extremely porous, unfired ceramic surfaces. Fish decorated pots led to the motive being painted on the base of later work. My first true watercolour 78/79 (slow worker) was signed and ‘fished’, and that continues to this day on all paintings.

 

Originally the fish had six elements (two eyes, two fins, body and tail. Over the years there has been a reduction to three strokes – fin, body and tail; though of late, I seem to be adding the odd eye).

 

If purchased framed, your watercolour print will be delivered expertly finished with ivory mount, acid-free picture backing board, gold or white frame with glass and fixings ready to hang. The prices include postage and packaging to UK addresses and all prints are individually signed by the artist.

 

If purchased mounted, your watercolour print will be delivered expertly finished with ivory mount and acid-free picture backing board ready for you to have framed at you local framers. The prices include postage and packaging to UK addresses and all prints are individually signed by the artist.

 

The Mounted size is the same as framed prints. Feel free to contact me for advice on getting your print sympathetically framed.

 

Please contact me if international delivery is required.

Delivery - Oil Prints

The image below shows an example of the whole printed area for a large oil painting print on canvas. This area includes an extra two inch border around the perimeter which is intended to be folded around the edges when hung on a stretcher. If you move your mouse over the ‘Mevagissey Chains’ picture below, the final picture size will be displayed.

Once folded around the edge of the stretcher, the painted border adds depth to the painting. The paintings displayed in the gallery show only the front of the picture and do not include this two inch border.

 

If purchased on a stretcher, your oil painting will have already been expertly fixed to a quality wooden frame and will be delivered with fixings ready to hang. We will contact you to arrange delivery.

 

If purchased in a roll, your oil painting will be delivered in a secure tube and does not include the wooden stretcher. The canvas alone makes an excellent wall hanging and instructions are included should you like to get your picture put on a stretcher at your local framers.

 

If you are having trouble deciding please feel free to give me a call and I will be happy to advise you.
