This is an original one of a kind painting of Hambledon Hill in Dorset.  It features a Pigeon and some snowdrops in the foreground.

I created this painting using watercolour paints and Caran d’ache neocolor pastels and luminance pencils. These materials are archival and lightfast meaning the colours will not fade if looked after properly. I start by creating a soft watercolour wash for the background, and once this is dry I gradually build up the details with pencils, pastels and Posca markers. This creates a lovely depth and texture to the piece. If you look really closely you can see all the different layers. I love to use bold colours to really capture the essence of the place. These pieces can be preserved properly by keeping them out of direct sunlight and framing them behind filter glass or acrylic. I have used 220gsm smooth heavyweight watercolour paper, which is acid free, and the pictures are then sprayed with a matt varnish fixative designed to preserve your artwork from any smudging or water damage. Your print will come unframed and un-mounted, backed by greyboard and packaged in a recyclable cello sleeve to protect it from any water damage. Your print will be signed and come with an artist certificate of authentication.

This print is A4 sized (210 x 297mm) and has a small, uneven boarder due to being hand painted. You can either pick a smaller mount and cover up the edges for a clean finish, or you could float mount it to enjoy the hand painted textures and edges. I hand-flatten my prints once completed, but due to the watercolour component they are not 100% flat. They will flatten out and look perfect once you have mounted and framed them.

Please note, the colours shown in these photos may vary slightly to the finished painting.

This is an original artwork and there is only one available.
