Flower Botanical Art Lino Print. Limited Edition Original Lino Art buying Print of Kniphofia from the Garden Plants Series

An original relief print from a limited edition of 50

This single colour print of Kniphofia or “Red Hot Pokers”, as they are commonly known, captures the essence of these striking sun lovers in their simplest form.

Two other images that I have produced and are also available “Honey Spurge” and “Sumac” are in the same style and whether paired or as the full set of three, make a handsome group when hung together.

The image size is 15cm wide x 20cm high
The paper is 25.5cm wide x 30.5cm high

Printed using Caligo safe wash professional oil based artist quality ink which is made using vegetable oils and are manufactured in Wales.

Blacks are mixed rather than used straight from the tin. For this edition, a warm black has been mixed with the addition of Diarylide yellow and Napthol Red.

The image has been printed on Somerset 250gsm white satin paper. A traditionally produced mould made paper of 100% cotton produced in England.

Working from initial sketches, the final design is worked on to a Lino block and hand carved.
Ink is applied to the block and this is then rolled by hand through a press thus transferring the image onto the paper. The fresh prints are then hung to dry naturally in the studio.

Relief printmaking is a process that has been in use for hundreds for years and this traditional way of printing by hand should not be confused with the process of printing out digital art electronically. Each print, though one of an edition, is never-the-less unique and as such, colour may differ slightly between buying each print run and also from the screen image.

Prints are numbered, titled and signed by the artist.

These prints can be purchased unframed or framed.

Unframed prints are rolled in acid free tissue paper, inserted in a poly bag for protection from water and dispatched in a postal tube.

Framed prints are first mounted with Daler Rowney Conservation mount board in Silver Birch, glazed using optically clear 2mm acrylic glass and framed in handmade solid European Oak frames which are milled and constructed here in the Malvern workshop and studio, finished in a hard wax oil and fitted with a pair of D ring picture hangers and white picture hanging cord.

All framed prints are well packed with card layers single faced corrugated paper for padding and dispatched in a double wall picture frame box.
