Modern Heirloom house portrait edition02

Modern Heirloom

Cream, burnt sienna, ultramarine, dry ink

Memory Garden house portrait edition03

03 / The Signature Collection

Memory Garden

A garden cut from paper

Layered shapes standing one in front of another, embossed botanicals, deckled fibres and soft shadow, with leaves and a sun disc crowding the edges of the panel. Joyful, not childish.

Sanctuary house portrait edition04

04 / The Signature Collection

Sanctuary

Worn gold, and light that stays

Thin veils of egg tempera colour beneath a broad gilded arch give the building a still, protective presence. A portrait for homes, chapels and venues that mean more than their walls.

Graphite Study house portrait edition05

05 / The Paper Room

Graphite Study

Charcoal mass, light lifted back out

Charcoal dust, compressed blacks and highlights erased straight out of the paper. One mineral wash remembers the real facade while the house emerges from the weather.

Lineage house portrait edition06

06 / The Paper Room

Lineage

Ink where it counts, paper everywhere else

An exact, economical hierarchy of ink and etched line, blind embossing for everything around it, and one accent taken from your real front door. Intimate enough for a childhood home.

Wash house portrait edition07

07 / The Paper Room

Wash

Loose colour, steady lines

Sepia ink holds every architectural fact while transparent colour travels beyond it. White paper, weather and one assured house: the familiar watercolour look, given a distinctly Held sense of space.

Inkline house portrait edition08

Inkline

Every brick, in ink

India ink, patient hatching, untouched cotton paper. The facade is built from the density of the line alone, with nothing decorative to hide behind.

Blueprint house portrait edition09

09 / The Paper Room

Blueprint

Measured lines, remembered life

A precise elevation floats over working blue, vellum and quiet copper registration marks. Technical enough for a study, personal enough for a hallway.

Plein Air

A good day, caught quickly

An oil study in honest daylight: natural colour, broken brushwork and bare linen between the strokes. It looks like one afternoon across the road, there and then.

Linocut

Bold cuts, and light left uninked
