Red squirrel sketch | Limited edition fine art print from an original drawing. My sketches start life as hand-drawn graphite images made on cartridge paper. I often work on these with charcoal, oil pastel or Caran d'Ache to create the look I'm after. The artwork is then scanned and finessed digitally ready for fine art printing. This process often referred to as Giclée printing uses the highest standard of printing methods to give gallery quality results that maintain all the details of the original sketch. The graphite pencils I use are Faber-Castel, the oil pastels are Sennelier and the china-graph is Caran d’Ache. The inks are pigment based archive quality (100years+). The heavyweight specialist papers I use are of the best professional quality having a wonderful surface designed specifically for fine art drawings and illustrations. Very limited editions with only ten per size printed. All artwork is signed and includes a certificate of authenticity. The A5 are 5.8" x 8.25" (14.8cm x 21cm) The A4 are 8.25" x 11.7" (21cm x 29.8cm) The A3 are 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) The A2 are 16.5" x 23.4" (42 cm x 59.4cm) Originals are A3 11.7" x 16.5" (29.8 cm x 42cm) Frames not included in price.

Autumn Bounty

I drew a series of similarly composed images in autumn last year and am still painting all I liked. Here, autumn is a motherly type wrapped in golden oranges, with the squirrels and cats chasing each other in eternal circles at her feet. The hawthorne crown presented a drawing challenge in watercolours; when I would've otherwise painted them later on with opaque paints, now they needed to be well-defined going in. In that regard, my watercolour training is also drawing training. I unapologetically used Hookers Green, Autumn Red, and Quinacridone Gold as pure as I could here because I really liked how saturated they were and how well they matched (of course I mixed too, mostly with burnt umber). I went too dark on her face; I rubbed off most of it with a magic eraser, waited until dry and covered the area in watercolour medium because the smooth Bristol paper had become quite soaky there. It went well after that.
