Description

This is a medium-sized fine art print (60 x 40 cm) of an oil tempera painting by Paul MacDermot of a Barn Owl in Wiltshire.  Paul employs a unique method of building up layers of subtle colours using stensils and the result is a wonderful impression of the habitat of the owl, flying against willow trees unfolding their new leaves. We invested a couple of days in proofing the accurate reproduction of this large painting:  we used outdoor photography, indoor photography (with tungsten and daylight lighting) and scanning to determine the optimal reproduction of the wonderful texture and colours in the painting; we stitched together several images to output the resolution we needed for printing; and we used our highest quality, lightfast Epson printer inks to provide a best result on high quality paper.

This is an unlimited print run of the medium-sized print on Hahnemuhle Photorag 188gsm fine art paper.
