Original Paintings by Dorset artist Richard Watkin

fine art giclee retro travel prints from original paintings

Our retro travel prints are created from Richards original paintings and are not computer generated. He paints with acrylics on a linen canvas in a style reminiscent of the 1930s vintage travel posters and the original paintings are available to buy.

Our prints are printed by us at home on archival quality 100% cotton fine art paper with pigment based inks. 

Our images are not photoshopped to perfection, we want you to see the imperfect textured effect of the canvas, the brush strokes, the highlights and lowlights - after all nothing in life is perfect and we prefer things that way!

Reviews

Beautiful work turned into fantastic quality prints and merchandise. Richard's book is stunning! The depth of colour is unbelievable and the quality of the images is just amazing, you can even see the texture of the linen canvas. Not forgetting the fantastic customer service from Judi too.
Thank you so much.

Hi Richard, we had only seen screen shots of the pictures on your website at the time of our order, however, they look absolutely fantastic in real life! We were stunned when we opened up the rolls, very happy with all of the pictures, really good to see the detail & love the quality, variety and choice of colours. You've got a great talent! Excellent packaging and service, much appreciated.

Dear Richard Thank you for the Mudeford print that arrived today. My parents used to take my brother and I every year and we stayed in a beach hut. I took my own children this weekend to visit (all hugely unchanged!) and your picture is the perfect reminder of somewhere special.
Kind regards Ally
