THE TECHNIQUE – PENCIL AND SCALPEL DRAWINGS.    Working exhaustively by naked eye only, Richard Kennedy, through the use of a variety of pencil 'hardnesses' and the 'tip' of a scalpel blade, finally achieves a maximum tonal range ('depth') and 'detail'. Some might say, even close to a 'photographic likeness' ….. For the Royal Navy warship range of prints ….and the 'Pure Sea' prints ….            VERY LATEST TECHNOLOGY ACID-FREE, CONSERVATION QUALITY PRINTS.    We achieve the highest possible quality standards for these superb signed prints by combining the traditional printer`s craft with the very latest technology. 'Capturing' and 'holding' at print the maximum tonal range ('depth') and 'detail' is our overwhelming concern and, naturally, we have gone to the greatest possible lengths – and beyond …! – to see that this is achieved. The prints are true fine art reproductions printed on 240 gsm., neutral ph, acid-free  conservation paper using waterless inks – a combination that minimises the fading of the inks and degredation of the paper etc. and  maximises the conservation qualities of the prints overall.   'STOCHASTIC SCREENING'   These prints are all produced using the very latest 'stochastic screening' process which uses random 'dots' instead of the usual regular, linear 'dot' patterns of conventional printing. As a result, the prints are, 'clearer' and  'sharper', yet display great subtlety of tone ('depth'). Truly works of art in their own right. After the closest inspection, each print will be individually signed by the Artist, Richard Kennedy in pencil.   ** again, please understand that these reproductions are exactly the same size as the original pencil and scalpel blade drawings.
