ABOUT THE ARTWORK

 

2024

Watercolour and gouache

A4

 

Japanese Windflowers are known for their tall, graceful daisy-like pink or white blooms that sway gently in the breeze and flower in the cooler months. They are one of my most favourite flowers. I was delighted, therefore, when asked by a friend to paint some windflowers as a birthday gift for her daughter, Tahlia. The gift was to be a surprise, so photos were taken, in secret, of windflowers Tahlia was growing in her garden and sent to me. Working from a few different photos, I worked out a suitable composition and decided to leave out some background details - replacing them with a deep blue (a combination of Payne's grey and cobalt blue). The deep, rich background sets off the foliage and contrasts the white blooms.

 

This image will print best on Hahnemühle German Etching paper.

 

ABOUT THE PRINTS

 

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. Each print will, however, include a margin/blank border around the image to allow for framing so that as much of the artwork as possible can be seen when framed.

 

POSTAGE

 

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 $20.00 AUD will be required for international customers.

 

CUSTOM MADE

 

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. Some outer parts of an image may be lost/cropped because of this. Original artworks that are smaller in size can only be enlarged so much before losing definition.

  • 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.
