Quality & Sustainability

Brushes and Paints 

All brushes are made of synthetic fibre and contain no animal-hair. Where possible, we use high-pigment colours, order material on-demand, order from climate-pledge friendly companies, and use studio/academic quality-level products. If you have questions on specific original pieces (gesso, paint, varnish, etc), please do not hesitate to contact us.

Canvas Prints 

Our classic canvas prints are hand-stretched over carefully sourced FSC-certified timber which has a thickness of 2cm. Using an on-demand printing service we reduce waste and can collaborate closely with our manufacturer at Hofinger BilderRahmen Tirol. All prints are made with UV-resistant inks on 100%cotton canvas.

Original Canvasses

For original art works on canvas, we use Artina canvasses which are climate-pledge friendly 100% cotton canvas stretched over FSC-certified timber with a 1.7cm frame thickness. Where possible, we use Studio or Academic quality levels for products. All acrylic works are varnished with at least two coats of a water-based UV-resistant varnish (90 % less solvents, 35% fewer VOCs, will not yellow, UV-resistant).

We use Faber Castell ink pens or Graff City Indian ink with dip pens. All watercolour works use Winsor and Newton products, including the Cotman fine-art pigment 45 pan studio set, gouache, and inks. The used paper is acid-free, professional quality, and at least 240g/m2 (cold/hot-pressed as indicated). Where indicated, ink and watercolour works are mounted at conservation grade in iced white textured picture mounts and sealed in resealable bags. All ink and watercolour works are finished with at least two coats of a UV-resistant varnish (Winsor and Newton Artists Fixative Transparent).

Ink and Watercolour Prints

For our fine-art prints, we work with the Hofinger BilderRahmen Tirol to produce highest-quality Giclée prints which are printed on hand-selected Ilford Cotton Textured paper.

Certificates of Authenticity

Our Canvas and Watercolour Limited Editions, Unique Prints, and Originals are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Should you require a copy of a previous certificate (due to loss or damage), please do not hesitate to contact us.

 Branding, Packaging, and Delivery

To remain as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible, we have decided to deliver our art works (where possible) with appropriately sized boxes and/or using recycled materials. We have also chosen to leave our boxes unbranded if eco-friendly options were not available. This further saves using ink and allows the boxes to be re-used without the need to recycle further.
