The Gilded Palette - print collection

This print collection reimagines original artworks through carefully hand‑enhanced digital adaptations, speaking to those looking for expressive, contemporary pieces that still carry the depth and intention of the painted originals. 

Colour accuracy

We take great care to represent colours faithfully. Even so, variations in screen calibration, brightness, and device settings may cause colours to appear slightly differently in person. We're happy to provide guidance, please use the 'Contact us' feature on the homepage.

Reserve

Using premium materials, this tier offers the most labour‑intensive works in the catalogue, distinguished by their complexity, and the studio hours invested.

Signature

Using premium materials, this tier offers thoughtfully composed and professionally finished works, with an emphasis on refined detail.

Studio

Using professional materials, and created using a faster process and lighter materials, each work is thoughtfully executed, and priced to offer an accessible entry into original artwork collecting.

PROFESSIONAL MATERIALS

Each artwork is created using professional‑quality traditional oil paints on archival substrates. Ellisa works with non‑toxic lavender spike oil and linseed oil thinners, with Liquin used selectively for glazing. These materials ensure longevity, stability, and a refined, classical finish.

HOW IT'S MADE

Most of the artworks are created using a classical technique where a refined underpainting sets the structure, then layers of luminous glaze build colour and atmosphere. This approach means that light can move through each transparent layer, giving the artwork a radiance and depth that can only be achieved through this slow, deliberate traditional method. 

 

OIL PAINTING CARE

Handle with care to avoid marks, scratches, or pressure dents.

Avoid touching the painted surface, especially if the work is unglazed or has delicate texture.

Display indoors only, away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or heat damage.

Keep the painting in a stable, dry environment, avoid humidity, damp rooms, or areas near radiators.

Dust gently with a soft, dry cloth; never use cleaning products or water.

When storing, keep the painting upright, wrapped in acid‑free materials, and away from sharp objects.

PRINT ON DEMAND

All prints (framed and unframed), cards, books, calendars and other printed materials are produced through carefully selected print‑on‑demand partners to minimise waste and reduce environmental impact.

 

HIGH QUALITY

We choose high‑quality global providers who use museum‑grade and fine art papers and long‑lasting, pigment‑based inks for vibrant, enduring colour. This approach ensures exceptional quality while supporting a more sustainable way of producing prints.

 

SIZING

Greeting/note cards: A5 (14.8 x 21cm) / A6 (10.5 x 14.8 cm) / Square (14.1 x 14.1cm). Note: greeting/notecards are sent flat in an easy to fold format, this protects them from bending during delivery so they arrive in perfect condition.

 

CUSTOM SIZING

Prints: popular standard sizing is offered, however, you can get in touch about your specific sizing requirements and we will do our best to meet your needs. Please use the 'Contact us' feature on the homepage.

PRINT CARE INSTRUCTIONS

• Packaging - depending on the size, your print will arrive either flat‑packed or rolled in a tube. Rolled prints may have a temporary curl, this is completely normal.
• Handle with care - avoid touching the printed surface to avoid scratches or marks.
• Prepare a clean surface - lay the print face‑down on a clean, dry, flat surface such as a tabletop. Make sure there’s no dust or texture that could mark the paper.
• Gently uncurl the print - let the print relax naturally for a moment, then smooth it out with clean dry hands.
• Weight it down - place a few large, flat books or similar objects evenly across the back of the print. Avoid anything textured or heavy enough to dent the paper.
• Leave it to settle - allow the print to rest under the weights for a few hours (or overnight for larger sizes). It will flatten beautifully and be ready for framing.
