About the Design, Fine Art Painting Materials and Reproduction Process

The original painting is designed and hand painted for Kahuna Bay using the best watercolours and premium professional colours by Windsor and Newton, watercolour pencils and charcoal as well as standard pencil.  

Susie paints the originals on wonderful quality 100% cotton mould made watercolour paper. 

Windsor and Newton watercolours were introduced in the 1830's. 

French or Italian papers by Arches or Artistico is what Susie loves to work with, and is what the reproduction designs are photographed from. 

The paintings are then professionally photographed and prepared locally for fine art reproduction in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. 

The fine art reproductions are of Susie's original work, on premium archival paper and/or canvas is designed to last 100 years. The exception to this is our hotel and commercial range designed to last 30 years. 

Standard Reproduction Sizes and Price

Our standard reproduction designs are printed on Cotton Rag paper, standard sizes and prices are as follows: 

• A4 - 22.5 x 32 cm $71.44
• A3 - 30 x 42.9 cm $129.88 
• A2 - 42 x 60 cm $232.85 

These sizes are approximate and can vary depending if your design is printed for a vertical or horizontal layout. The designs may also be printed with a border, therefore we don't recommend preparing your frame until you receive your reproduction print. Sometimes, due to the border in the print, you'll need to "trim" your reproduction if you want it to work in an "off the shelf" frame. We always recommend professional framing. 

If you need larger sizes, please jump over to buyartnow/susiehambleton as there are hundreds of varieties of customisation. 

Arthouse Reproductions in Brisbane, Queensland Australia represents our reproduction designs and can work with you to customise your sizing requirements or large commerical and design orders as well as assist you if you'd like one of our designs on canvas rather that cotton paper.
