Red Gate Woods was completed on September 20, 2021 and was inspired by a September visit to one of my Dad’s favorite hiking spots. Using gouache paint and oil based colored pencils, I captured the sun filtering in through the trees in an otherwise shaded tunnel.
Prints: The prints are reproductions of Sydney’s watercolor paintings. They are printed using a special technique called Giclée. Giclée printing produces more detail than a standard desktop inkjet printer. The prints are printed on high quality archival papers using special light-fast inks that are archival certified, and if treated properly will last a lifetime. For the print paper, I’ve selected an Epson Premium paper that has a slight texture to it, which is a nod to the cold press watercolor paper that I paint the originals onto.
I do not keep a stock of prints in my studio - all prints will ship directly from the company handling the printing with approximately a one-week turnaround. I will provide tracking when it becomes available to me. Shipping is a flat $4.
Original: The Original’s page has more information.
Sizing: These sizes may not be traditional frame sizes - they’re the sizes that result in as little cropping as possible to the original image. However, if there is a certain size that you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to let me know via email - I’d be happy to give you a custom quote and a mock-up of how the painting would look at the size that you’re interested in.
