This limited edition print is from a watercolor painting I created in Africa. Sketching from life is a vital part of my work - it is a great way to improve my artistic skills and allows me to meet interesting people from all walks of life. I have to work very fast so I start in pencil, sketching on watercolor paper, then add the watercolor, using my memory if the people I sketched have moved away.

My limited editions are created by a professional printer who scans the original painting. We then color correct the image together and create printed proofs. The edition size is only 10 copies, all signed and numbered by me. The print should be shops matted and framed under glass or acrylic (plexi-glass). It is important to use a frame with a mat so that the print does not come into direct contact with the glass or acrylic. As with all artwork it is best to hang the framed print in a position with good light but out of direct sunlight.

I make a donation to African conservation organizations from every sale of my art. The donation from this limited edition will go to African People & Wildlife in Tanzania, the community conservation organization I was visiting when this painting was created.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for visiting
