KING | Bighorn Sheep Fine Art Prints of Original Hand-Engraved Portrait
KING | Bighorn Sheep Fine Art Prints of Original Hand-Engraved Portrait
“King” — The bighorn has long captivated my attention; their power, resilience, and those horns that reflect every battle.
This style of hand-illustrated engraving has been around since the 1800s. A panel of Masonite is covered with white clay and then a thin layer of black India ink on top. Using a small Xacto blade and mini fiberglass brush, I carve through the black ink hair by hair, exposing variable degrees of the white clay beneath.
Two sizes of fine art prints are available of the original 12x16” hand-engraved original — 11x14” and 16x20”. Archival inks on Photo Rag Baryta paper produce rich blacks and a wide range of tones to capture every detail. Prints have no borders to allow for personal framing options. Both sizes are permanently mounted on 3mm black styrene to minimize warping and provide protection during handling and framing.
Mounted prints are lightweight and very easily framed.
** Prints are UN-FRAMED **
Photos in listings with framed examples are for aesthetic inspiration and to give ideas of size.
Prints are shipped in highly-protective box to ensure they arrive safe and sound.
Please expect 5-10 days for production, packaging and delivery. I keep you up to date from the time of your order to shipping so you can know exactly when your artwork is arriving.
