All of these paintings are watercolours on full sheet 100% rag (archival quality) Saunders Waterford or Arches 300gsm paper, unless otherwise noted. Some are collaged with Japanese rice paper.  The gummed tape used when  stretching the sheets  is acidic, so after a painting is finished, the tape is trimmed off to prevent acid damage. This  removes the deckle edge of the watercolour sheets and and reduces them to about 21" x 29" (50cm x 73cm).
    Pigments of unprecedented lightfastness have been developed for the automotive industry, and leading suppliers of art materials, such as Winsor and Newton and Horodam Schminke have gladly incorporated them into their traditional paint ranges. This has revolutionised the colour stability  of watercolour paintings.
    This combination of fine art, archival paper, and permanent pigments deserves proper care - mounting behind glass, hanging out of direct sunlight, on pH-buffered mounts. Treated thus, these paintings should be more stable than oil paintings and should last hundreds of years.
    Note that colours displayed by computer monitors are affected by the age of the monitor, its settings, its technology, and even by the type of computer that's driving it. Consequently, the colours of the paintings cannot be guaranteed to display completely accurately on your monitor.
