Signed & numbered print of swatches of shukas (robes) worn by Maasai men and women. ~ unframed limited edition print ~ printed using archival inks on watercolor paper ~ 25 in edition, all signed and numbered by me ~ 25% from this sale will be donated to African conservation ~ Free shipping within USA This limited edition print is from a watercolor painting I created in Africa. I wanted to be able to remember some of the complex shuka (robes) patterns worn by the Maasai, so I could use them in future paintings, so I started sketching them in a grid and realized it made a beautiful image. Sketching from life is a vital part of my work - it is a great way to improve my artistic skills and allows me to meet interesting people from all walks of life. My limited editions are created by a professional printer who scans the original painting. We then color correct the image together and create printed proofs. The edition size is only 10 copies, all signed and numbered by me. The print should be matted and framed under glass or acrylic (plexi-glass). It is important to use a frame with a mat so that the print does not come into direct contact with the glass or acrylic. As with all artwork it is best to hang the framed print in a position with good light but out of direct sunlight. I make a donation to African conservation organizations from every sale of my art. The donation from this limited edition will go to African People & Wildlife in Tanzania, the community conservation organization I was visiting when this painting was created. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks for visiting Alison
