Prints

Close enough
to see the brush.

Every print starts with a full-resolution photo of the painting, checked against the panel, then printed to order on heavyweight fine art paper with archival pigment inks.

The paper

Paper that holds
the paint.

Giclée is the way it’s printed, not what it’s printed on: fine dots of archival pigment ink, the way museums print their collections, on paper or on canvas. It lasts generations without fading. For the sketches I chose Hahnemühle German Etching, a heavyweight matte paper with a soft etched texture, so the brushwork reads as brushwork. The two bigger sizes also come on canvas: heavy cotton canvas stretched by hand over pine bars an inch and a half deep, with the edges of the painting mirrored round the sides so nothing is lost from the front.

The one I chose

Hahnemühle German Etching

310 gsm · matte · textured

Velvety, with a soft etched tooth. It reads closest to paint on a panel. My pick for the sketches.

Also available

Hahnemühle Photo Rag

308 gsm · 100% cotton · smooth

The classic museum paper: smooth, bright white, very fine detail. On request.

How an order is made

Printed for you,
not from a stack.

Nothing sits in a warehouse. Your print is made when you order it, at a fine-art lab close to you, and it’s at your door in about a week.

  1. 01

    You choose

    A painting, a size, and a frame if you want one.

  2. 02

    Colour-checked first

    Every file is matched to the panel before it goes on sale, so the lab prints straight from it.

  3. 03

    A lab prints it

    Giclée, archival pigment inks, made to order within about three days.

  4. 04

    Framed or flat

    Framed and ready to hang, or unframed: the small size ships flat, the bigger two rolled in a sturdy tube.

  5. 05

    It ships to you

    From the lab nearest you, in the US, UK, Europe or Australia. About a week, door to door.

In the frame

Pick a frame.
Turn it.

Prints can come framed by the lab, ready to hang: a classic wood frame in natural, black or white, with clear acrylic in front and a hook on the back. You choose a white mat around the print, or none, with the painting right to the frame. Or unframed, if you have a framer you love. Turn it to see the sides and the back.

Sizes and editions

Three sizes.
One that’s signed.

Most of my sketches are 12 × 9, so the smallest print is the painting at its real size. The bigger two are for a wall that wants more.
