A perfect memento for every boat lover - wether its a yacht, narrow boat, speed boat or anything that floats! The drawing style is clean and contemporary with the sky and surroundings picked out in a range of colours. 

Every illustration can be further personalised with a printed message. Choose from 3 typefaces (script, handwritten or a modern sans-serif). Your text will be printed on 2 lines, the top line being a slightly larger size. If you've asked for a digital proof, we will email you a pdf of your illustration to check. We offer up to 3 amends to your original drawing. For further changes there will be an additional charge.

About the illustration
Your Illustration will be hand drawn black & white sketch of the boat, not a computer generated image, so we can add/remove things you don’t want. We will sketch the view from the photograph (ie the same perspective), and don't include people. It’s a simplified drawing of the boat in black & white and we colour the sky duck-egg blue, sea darker blue etc.

Made from:
A print of a hand drawn illustration, coloured on the computer for lovely solid lines and digitally printed in a graphic, contemporary style with offset block colours on 200gsm acid free, fine grain artists paper.

Framing

Our frames are all handmade in the UK from solid wood with a 2cm wide profile- choose from 3 styles (see image thumbnail for colours). Supplied with integrated hanging hook and Pilkington glass (extra large frames are glazed with high grade UV perspex for glare reduction and safe shipping).

Dimensions:

Small- Mount size 25.5x25.5cm (10x10”), image size approx 15x15cm (6x6”)
Large- Mount size 25.5x30.5cm (10x12”), image size approx 18x23cm (7x9”)

Hand drawn illustrations

Each illustration is drawn by hand by our team of talented artists in our studio in North Devon. We colour and digitally print on acid free, fine grain artists paper. 

If you select a digital proof, your illustration will be sent to you via email for you to check before printing. We offer up to 3 amends to your original drawing. For further changes there will be an additional charge.
