Ah, Sleepy Hollow… There’s an undeniable charm to hedgehogs, yet capturing their essence in a painting proved to be quite the challenge, which is why this particular piece demanded so much time and attention!
The initial stages involved a meticulous search for the perfect leaf from my garden, which served as a makeshift block-printer for the background. Using different paints, I carefully filled in the scene, ensuring each stroke contributed to the overall atmosphere. Once the background was complete, I applied the finishing touches with separate brushstrokes, adding little dabs of colour to enhance the details.
Amidst this artistic journey, the Sleepy Hollow emerges as a masterpiece that beautifully captures the essence of these creatures in their natural habitat. An homage to unparalleled creativity, it seamlessly blends art and nature with meticulous precision. Every brushstroke unfolds a compelling story, showcasing the elegance and intricate dynamics of badgers in a stunning visual narrative.
While depicting the adorable hedgehog’s quills was comparatively easier, the sheer quantity presented its own set of challenges. By the end of the process, I found myself envisioning quills even in my sleep!
There’s one last observation I’d like to share: upon closer inspection, I’ve recently noticed a delightful resemblance between this little hedgehog and a conker nestled within its Sleepy Hollow. With a bit of squinting, the resemblance is uncanny!
Our Fine-Art Prints come on two kinds of archival paper. For everything up to – and including – our ‘Medium’ size, we use 210GSM Fotospeed Smooth Art; a paper that offers exceptional contrast and detail. Because our larger, more prestigious prints need to be more impactful, we use Fotospeed’s 315GSM NST. Thanks to the gentle texture and bright-white base of this 100% cotton, fine art paper, it consequently delivers a wide colour gamut. The Fine Art Trade Guild have also certified these two papers. In conjunction with our pigment-rich inks, we therefore deliver a lifetime’s worth of enjoyment!
