ABOUT THIS PRINT
This is a 1:1 reproduction of an original watercolour painting (18 x 26 cm) which captures the power of an ocean wave driven by Severe Gale Force 9 winds (41–47 knots). The huge wave is rendered in vibrant aqua green and deep turquoise for dramatic effect. The print has been created on textured paper which mimics watercolour cotton canvas adding originality to the piece.
On the Beaufort Scale, a Force 9 wind is officially termed a Strong Gale, though the Met Office often uses the more descriptive Severe Gale - a phrase Tomasz Schafernaker has also used during his 20 years of broadcasting.
Tomasz is working to complete a series of paintings depicting the entire Beaufort Scale, from Calm, Force 0 to Hurricane Force 12.
Two framing options are available. Each print includes a custom white mount and an elegant wooden frame, available in either a black or white finish, signed on the back.
GICLÉE
Giclée prints are highly valued and should be treated like original artwork. We strongly recommend framing giclée prints promptly to ensure optimal preservation.
Due to the delicate nature of the surface, even minimal handling can potentially damage the print. For this reason, it is advisable to entrust any handling to a professional framer. Additionally, all giclée prints have a natural tendency to curl.
At Schafernaker Art, unframed prints are sent flat in corrugated cardboard envelopes and are never rolled or shipped in a tube. They are carefully protected in a cellophane sleeve and paired with a mountboard for added safety during shipping.
