River Thames Sketchbook was completed on September 23, 2021 and is a sketchbook painting of the view from the Tower Bridge of the Tower of London and modern surrounding buildings using gouache and colored pencils. The older structures are painted in warm tones in stark contrast to the cooler toned modern structures. Down the middle of the painting, you’ll see the seam and stitching where the book comes together.
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.
The original size of this piece is 16x11” - not a standard size. I’m offering prints in both the original ratio, as well as standard sizes - just know that with standard sizes, some cropping will occur.
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.
