ABOUT THE ARTWORK
2024
GouacheA3
Flamingo in Dancing Light is the second in a series of gouache paintings undertaken during my recent art classes. While Wading in the Shallows captures a familiar tropical beach scene, this piece has a somewhat different feel - with more pronounced brushstrokes and greater energy, movement and vibrancy. Sunlight catches the rippling waves - light dancing upon the water.
This image will print best on ILFORD's GALERIE Gold Fibre Gloss paper.
Flamingo in Dancing Light
Most of my original artworks are available in archival quality print form and are printed using the giclée process by ACME et al in Steels Creek, Victoria. Each stage of the printing process is carefully overseen by James, the printer (with nearly three decades of industry experience), to ensure the highest quality product. These prints are made to last for decades with minimal fading and are printed on high-end, sturdy papers.
Because the prints are made on demand and printed individually rather being mass-produced, please allow between two to three weeks for processing and delivery of your order (or a little longer for customers outside of Australia).
Please note that framing is not included with print purchases.
My artworks are scanned and printed by ACME et al in Steels Creek in the scenic Yarra Valley, Victoria. ACME et al have over 20 years of industry experience and use the giclée printing process with archival quality papers - creating faithful and long-lasting reproductions. The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is among their distinguished clientele.
The giclée printing process creates very high-quality prints that last for decades with minimal fading. It uses archival level pigment inks and papers which help to create faithful reproductions of original artworks. A wide variety of papers and materials (such as canvas) can be used in this process.
ILFORD's GALERIE Gold Fibre Gloss is the perfect complement to the ever popular GALERIE Gold Fibre Silk.
A throwback to a bygone era, this traditional fibre-base photo paper is ideal for high quality black and white printing and offers an exceptional wide gamut for color, detail and tonality.
In developing GALERIE Gold Fibre Gloss, ILFORD has taken into account all the elements that make the perfect traditional photo paper, reminiscent of papers produced for the darkroom.
With no optical brighteners, and a seamless transition between contrast, shadow detail and highlight areas, this new exciting addition to the GALERIE range is sure to be a winner.
GALERIE Gold Fibre Gloss is available in sheets and rolls and is compatible with pigment based printers.
Key Benefits:
- Traditional Baryta-like surface

If you would prefer a different print size to those listed, custom sizing can be arranged through email. This also applies if you would prefer an image to be printed on canvas (unstretched). Contact me at info@robertkingdomart.com to discuss options.
It is helpful to note that the original sizes/dimensions of my artworks vary and this can impact how well the images translate across to different ratios of print/framing sizes. Original artworks that are smaller in size can only be enlarged so much before losing definition.
Prints will be mailed directly from ACME et al (in most cases) to the customer. The cost of postage is included within the overall price of the print for customers within Australia. An additional fee of $15.00 AUD will be required for international customers.
Prints will be sent directly to the customer by ACME et al within 2-3 weeks upon receiving an order within Australia and a little longer for overseas.
