Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee party celebration This is a print of my original artwork. The centre piece is HM in the Coronation dress designed by Norman Hartnell and embroidered with English Tudor Roses, Scottish thistles, Irish shamrocks, Welsh leeks and other flowers and leaves representing the countries of the Commonwealth. To the left HM is in her Trooping of the Colour uniform, and to the right her Silver Jubilee walkabout pink dress from 1977. Then there is the blue dress she wore to the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana in 1981, her Auxiliary Territorial Services uniform from 1945, her engagement dress and her wedding dress from 1947 designed by Norman Hartnell with a 13 foot train. For the portrait of her as a child wearing a tartan skirt, it wasn't a clear reference photo and I couldn't see the exact tartan she was wearing, so I have drawn her in Balmoral tartan designed by Prince Albert in 1853. I have also included a couple of the Queen's corgis. The original artwork was planned and drawn by me, with the detailing and outlining completed using fine line pens. Then painted with watercolours and finished with gold gouache highlights. Prints are hand finished with gold gouache and signed by me. You could choose the full size A2 (16.5 x 25.4 inch) Giclee option - virtually identical to the original. To qualify for the title of a "fine art giclée print" it has to be made on archival quality coated paper, and printed with pigment based archival inks, which are UV stable. The quality of the paper or canvas used in a giclee print is very important. Fine art paper mills have been producing mould made artist papers for over 435 years, have an extensive range of fine art papers used in giclee printing. The final result will be a superb giclee print. We have selected the Enhanced Velvet, 255 gsm - Matt Textured. This is a professional fine art paper made at St Cuthberts Mill in Somerset. It has a velvety mid textured surface, using natural woollen felts and is 100% cotton. This archival grade paper exhibits high whiteness, without the use of optical brightening agents and is buffered with calcium carbonate to combat acid attack that finished prints may encounter from air pollution. Giclee prints are rolled into a sturdy protective postal tube to be shipped.
