PAINTINGS
PAINTING PROCESS
Many clients choose to have paintings specially made.
Julia works closely with her clients and their designers to create beautiful and unique, large-scale artworks on aluminium to meet the project brief, budget and client deadline.
Urgent deadlines are possible. Please ask.
Inspiration starts with holiday photos of light shimmering on water.
Initial paint mixes are made and tested
After much thought and tea and biscuits.. the design is finalised
Concept sketch of the design on a large scale for client approval
The aluminium panels must be cleaned before they can be painted.
When paintings are going to be 8 storeys high, you need a lot of paint!
Very large paintings are made on the floor, so that the middle can be reached
Aluminium panels are custom made to shape, size and finish.
Paint mixes must be tested before use
Matt or gloss paint finishes are chosen.
Drying time in the studio is important. Completed paintings are left to dry for up to 3 weeks before they can be wrapped for shipment.
Twenty six square paintings have been wrapped and packed, there’s just room for another nine (but only if Julia gets out the box).
Wooden export cases are custom made with heat treated wood to meet international standards.
Cases are forklifted into a dedicated sea container, driven to London docks for loading onto container ship. Delivery is fully insured door to door worldwide.
