Atmospheric paintings of Japan

Watercolor sketches

So these are my rough watercolor sketches that I do at the beginning of a project and which lead to my more finished paintings. Despite being sketches I think they are very beautiful and have an energy that is sometimes lacking in the more finished paintings.

I have cut these sketches so that they fit into an A4 size frame that has a border.

These are original paintings and not prints.

The cost of these paintings is only $50 and includes shipping. These paintings are unframed. But it is very easy to order an A4 frame with a border on Amazon. Make sure the frame has a string on the back if you intend to hang it or a support if you intend to put it on top of a desk.

If you are interested then please fill in the contact form below. If I do not get back to you within 3 days then please mail me at: garvalnay@gmail.com

These are original watercolor paintings done by me, Gareth Naylor. They are not only works of art which I hope capture the atmosphere of real places but also show 15 years of painting craftsmanship.

These paintings are available to buy. Just contact me and let me know which painting you like in the contact form below.

Presently, the paintings cost $200. However, this does not include shipping. Just let me know if you are interested in purchasing a painting and I will work out the shipping cost for your country – as I live in Japan. However, it should not be too expensive as I will send the painting unframed.

If the painting is damaged during shipping then you will get a full refund. To date, I have never had a painting damaged during shipping but no doubt it will one day happen so this is why I add a refund.
