Collector's Edition
Teasel - dipsacus fullonum
This edition will be strictly limited to 100 prints only, printed on Somerset Satin acid free paper using archival inks and signed and numbered by Ann.
This stunning, life-size, conté pastel and pencil drawing of the Teasel is the first in this new series and at nearly a metre high is truly an impressive piece. The original drawing took over a month to complete and has recently been awarded the Certificate of Botanical Merit by the Society of Botanical Artists.
Ann will continue to issue further additions to her standard range of Limited Edition Giclée prints.

Giclée Prints
About giclée prints
Giclée printing is a recent introduction and is making a strong impact on the British print market.
The giclée process starts in the same way as off-set litho in that the original drawing is scanned using a very high definition laser scanner but instead of making plates the information is fed into a computer and the image is printed using a very high quality, large format, inkjet printer called an iris printer - hence the name giclée which is French for 'to squirt'.
New non-fading archival inks combined with the ability to print onto acid free, hot pressed watercolour paper similar to the paper Ann uses for the original drawings produces a superb quality print virtually indistinguishable from the original.
The prints come in deep cut single museum quality off white mounts or double white mount and are shrink wrapped for protection.
Larger prints are backed with foam core board for safe transport. Measurements include mounts. All Limited Edition Prints are signed and numbered by the artist.
