Description
Ffynnon Llugwy, Snowdonia, North Wales, UK.
I painted this scene looking down from the ridge above the cwm. Ffynnon Llugwy is a 40 acre reservoir lake from which the Afon Llugwy flows out down the Ogwen valley to Capel Curig and Betws-y-coed. You can spot 12 species of wild birds within a few miles radius of here, including skylarks, carrion crow and wagtails. Discover more about this lesser visited gem within the Ogwen valley here.
The print process
From the original painting, a professional and colour-matched scan is made. Next the scan is individually hand-printed – to the exacting archival standards of modern fine art printing. What’s more, it exceeds the Fine Art Trade Guild’s minimum standards for the production of giclée prints.
I use a printer called Art4Site Ltd., one of the UK’s leading and award-winning specialist fine art printers. Each artwork is printed on the latest Epson SureColor large format printers. These use ten colour, wide gamut UltraChrome HDX light-fast pigment inks ensuring fine art gallery quality. This means, in layman’s terms, you can hang it on your wall and up to seventy five years later, the colours should be as vibrant and faithful to the original as the day they were printed.
In addition, the artwork is printed on William Turner, 310 gsm paper from Hahnemühle. It’s an acid-free, museum-grade digital fine art paper—the finest available for giclée printing. It offers exceptional print fidelity with a beautiful textured surface and is a natural white, with 100% rag content. With a mean pH value of 7, it has excellent archival qualities.
A high quality, individually-signed and limited edition print has lasting value
Lastly, your individually signed, numbered print will be presented in a ‘Snow White’ coloured mount to an overall measurement of 306 x 382mm. The print itself measures 230 x 310mm. Every print is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity, signed by the artist. You’ll receive your print packaged flat in protective packaging. Delivery will be via a tracked service.
