Framed Original Paintings Specialist Service |
|
| Please take a few moments to read about my service
and the quality frames that I offer. I can now ship my paintings to overseas destinations but there is an additional cost for postage and packing. This reflects the cost to me for the service. |

Original Watercolour Paintings materials |
I have used a variety of papers for my paintings
but my favoured medium is Saunders Waterford Rough Paper
(600gsm or 300gsm). as this is very rigid and does
not require stretching, it also frames exceedingly
well.

Original Oil Painting materials |
 |
For all my original oil paintings
I have used Alkyd quick drying oils. I have again
used a variety of papers and canvas. The majority
of small paintings are painted on a light textured oil painting paper.
The panoramic original paintings
are painted on Jacksons rough watercolour paper
(which has a canvas like texture) which I sized
prior to painting.
The canvas on board paintings
and the stretched canvas paintings are all on
quality canvas. The stretched canvas paintings are sold unframed.

Frames and Bevelled Mounts
The frames I have chosen for the paintings are
manufactured by 'Fine Art Trade Guild' craftsmen using
the best quality materials. To reduce the risk
of damage in transit the frames are fitted
wth plastic glass. My framed paintings,
where applicable, are fitted with a soft white bevelled mount. We offer mounts in soft white only -
I believe that this complements all the paintings. |
Frame Profile |

Toned Mahogany
A beautiful elegant 45mm traditional banded stained wood moulding with gold sight edge. One of our most popular mouldings, ideal for those who require a traditional or classic look to their frames. A good all-round choice which works well with Paintings of all types and characteristics. |

Classic Stained Wood
This 35mm frame is a classic mahogany coloured stained wood moulding, with traditional gold sight edge. Available only for the wide panorama oil paintings this moulding is a beautiful complement for the UK seasonal landscape colours in my paintings. |

Chestnut
The 45mm depth of the moulding brings an added
dimension to the paintings. The rich mid brown

complements the earthy tones of the mountain
landscape, which I try to capture in my paintings.

you will be notified immediately. If you need
