Comments From The Artist

I have found great peace and tranquillity in watching the movement of boats and animals in bright sunrises and sunsets. I confess I fell on this form of mixed media artwork by accident. I had painted traditional watercolours. I had produced on white backgrounds portraits of my grandchildren, boats and churches in black ink pointillism.

I first tried to impose back ink pointillism images onto colour back grounds and it did not work. I then thought that possibly the eye would be better fooled if the pointillism image was in blue, and that was exactly the result, although the correct intensity of the dots in relation to the background colour is key.

I then thought a similar but monochrome effect could be achieved by a sepia wash and a sepia pointillism image imposed on it. I tried it and my faith was rewarded. It also worked beautifully, enabling me to complete waterscapes, as well as pictures of elephants and temples, almost as though they were like old faded black and white photographs.

Extraordinarily, this medium, whether in full colour or in sepia only, facilitates the reproduction from the originals in enlarged or reduced sizes without impacting on the colour or image quality.

My sincere hope is that you enjoy them as much I enjoyed creating them. Should you buy one and not like it, then please return it to the printers and your money will be refunded.
