Materials Notes:

 

Paper: Fabriano Artistico and Arches, acid free, 140lb. I stretch wet paper over wood panels which makes something like a paper 'canvas' to paint on. Artwork is isolated from wood panels with neutral ph polypropylene film that is sandwiched between the panel and paper. No more wavey watercolors. :)

 

Paints and Ink: I use Windsor and Newton, Sennelier,  M. Graham and Holbein watercolor paints. I also make paint myself using natural earth pigments gum arabic and honey. These paints are archival, extremely lightfast and totally non-toxic. Many historically important pigments are still available today as they have been for as long as humans have been crushing rocks to make colors. Ink is Speedball Superblack permanent ink. All my pieces have superior fade resistance. (All original art is best hung out of direct sunlight) 

 

Varnish: For framed pieces, I seal paintings with Gamblin Cold Wax Medium. This adds a very thin layer of bees wax (not visible) on top of the painting which permanently seals it. This allows gentle dusting and eliminates the need for glass.

 

Frames: I build my own frames in my woodshop. Woods include Western Red Cedar, Poplar, Cherry, Oak, etc etc.  

​

If you ever have a question about or problem with a painting or frame, please contact me and I will be happy to help. I am very committed to creating archival, non-toxic, artworks and frames of the highest quality which are built to last a lifetime.
