Hills and Valleys, Streatley Warren Original Silk Painting and Signed Giclee Prints

This is the view as you walk along the Ridgeway at Streatley Warren in Berkshire, England. I wanted to capture the morning light and fantastic undulating topography of the British Landscape. Hope you like it!

My paintings are mainly painted on pure Chinese habotai 8 silk with specialist silk paints. I start each work with a drawing on paper and then trace the image onto a piece of white silk stretched onto a wooden frame. I then apply a special paint called gutta, which contains natural latex called gutta-percha, over my traced lines. This creates a resistive barrier through which the coloured ink will not flow. I apply the coloured ink with a brush and use salt dropped into the ink whilst wet to created textured effects.

The finished painting is removed from the wooden frame, ironed to fix the colour in the fabric and stretched onto acid-free mountboard ready for framing.
