SHIPPING & PACKING

UNFRAMED PRINTS

Your print will be carefully rolled in acid free tissue paper and posted in a sturdy cardboard tube. When it arrives, I recommend you lay the print out flat, place the tissue paper it was rolled in over it and weight it down with a couple of large books for a day or two before framing it.

FRAMED PRINTS

Your framed print is carefully packed; with cardboard corner protectors and a cling film wrap around the outer edges. A piece of cardboard is laid over the glass side, then the entire thing is wrapped in bubble wrap and packed into a study cardboard outer sleeve with protective bindings and ‘fragile’ labelling.

All prices include tracked delivery

HOW DID THIS PAINTING COME ABOUT?

Watch a this short video showing the creative process.

This painting was based on a Santa I picked up on eBay. He wasn’t your characteristic round bellied type but rather, something a little more agile and – one might imagine - capable of hopping down and up a chimney!

The name of Santa carries with it many associations, for me the magic and sense of wonder he represents always makes me smile along with my childhood memories of letters drifting up chimneys and mince pies and brandies left out by the fireplace on Christmas eve, disappearing by morning!

I hope this Santa, with his explorer stance and companionable teddy bear conjures a little of that festive mystery!

WHAT IS A DIGITAL PAINTING?

I have come to digital painting from a traditional fine art background, working for over 20 years in mediums such as oil paint on canvas and pastels.

A couple of years ago I started applying this knowledge and experience to digital painting.

Watch this short video to see my set up and how I create a digital painting, building an image up from scratch, in the same way I would if using oil paint or pastel.
