'Last of the Golden Rays' Original Mixed Media Painting

ABOUT THE PAINTING

This mounted (unframed), original, mixed media painting is part of my Hedgerow Series of paintings and is titled 'Last of the Golden Rays'.

I'm very lucky to live on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales in beautiful Wharfedale and so I'm surrounded by gorgeous countryside. My Hedgerow Series is inspired by the burgeoning hedgerows I encounter on my walks from home. It really is my happy place!

In this work I have used professional quality Watercolour Paints, Posca Pens, Pigment Liner, StazOn Ink and Gel Pens. 

Please note that I often use paints and pens with a metallic/glittery sheen for highlights, but this is very difficult to capture in a photograph. My work is therefore best viewed in person, to fully appreciate these special little details.

* SIZE:  The overall size of the mounted painting is 41cm x 51cm. The actual painted area measures 28.8cm x 38.5cm. 

* WHAT'S INCLUDED:  The artwork is one of a kind, signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. It is mounted (but not framed) and sealed inside a protective sleeve.

* ABOUT THE PAPER:  I have used St Cuthberts Mill Bockingford Traditional Watercolour Paper (300gsm/140lb, cold pressed (NOT)). According to their website, "this is a beautiful English paper, traditionally made on a cylinder mould machine at St Cuthberts Mill. It is a high quality paper made using pure materials to archival standards. Its attractive surface is created using natural woollen felts that give it a distinctive random texture."

* CARE INSTRUCTIONS:  As this painting has areas of watercolour, it should ideally be framed under glass (museum grade if possible), to help protect it from dust and UV light. It should also be hung/displayed away from natural light.
