BOTANICAL CARDS

From original watercolours by Anne Wright

Another hobby of mine is painting botanical watercolours. I was very fortunate to be introduced to a wonderful teacher and mentor, Colin Swinton, who taught me a skill I had envied for many years. Starting to learn in 2000, I averaged very few paintings per year as I loved fine details, and haven't painted for a few years now, so my total output is fairly small! My favourite substrate is vellum, and you may notice even in the reproduced images below how vibrant the colours are when painted on this ancient medium.

The cards offered below are exclusive to Dryad - you won't find these anywhere else. They have been beautifully printed by Dandy Arthouse on quality card. My thanks go to them for the quality of the printing and excellent service. I hope to be able to also offer prints shortly. Please contact me if you are interested in prints.

PRICE per card £3-00, or 5 cards for £14, or 10 cards for £27

The cards are high quality, folded, blank inside and come with an envelope and cellophane sleeve.
