About This Collection
Painting prints cover a lot of ground, so it helps to think of this collection as a handful of strands that share a painted finish rather than a subject.
Painted dog portraits are the largest strand. The Pug Art Print is the best seller in the collection over the past year, and it keeps good company: the Greyhound Art Print, the Whippet Print, and portraits of the westie, Scottish terrier, bichon frise, beagle, Bernese mountain dog, dalmatian, labrador, weimaraner and more. Each is painted as a portrait rather than a cartoon, so they sit comfortably in a living room without feeling like pet merchandise. More breeds live in the dog prints collection.
Impressionist and floral paintings bring the lighter, softer side. The Monet Duck Pond Print and the Monet Summer in Normandy Print borrow the loose, dappled light of Impressionism, and the full set is in the Monet prints collection. The Colourful Cat Floral Print and the Casa Botanica Floral Abstract Print push the paint towards bold colour and pattern instead.
Painted landscape prints cover the Lake District, Glencoe, Bristol's Clifton Bridge, a Spanish village, a Mediterranean harbour and the French Riviera seen from above. The Lake District Travel Print and the Glencoe Scotland Travel Print are the ones to look at if you want somewhere specific on the wall rather than somewhere generically pleasant.
Funny painting prints are the strand guests will ask about. The Lisa Vanderpump Mona Lisa Print is exactly what it sounds like. The Victorian Bedrot Vape Print gives a period portrait a very modern habit, the Smoking Skeleton Print has stopped worrying about his health for obvious reasons, and the Black Cat Champagne Print treats a cat with a glass of fizz with all the seriousness of an old master. The ghost series, led by the Pumpkin Pals Ghost & Cat Print, takes small ghosts through an autumn of picnics, laundry and fairground rides.
If it's the painted style you're after rather than a particular subject, the Matisse prints collection and the vintage prints collection are the natural next stops.
What rooms suit painting wall art?
Living rooms suit the larger painted pieces. A dog portrait or a painted scene like the Mediterranean Harbour Print at A2 or A1 gives a sofa wall a focal point with real depth.
Bedrooms and reading corners suit the quieter, warmer paintings. The Girl Reading in Bed Print and the Maple Bookshop Print both have the soft palette that works above a bed or beside a reading chair.
Bathrooms and kitchens can take the lighter subjects. The Chihuahua Bathtub Print, the Ginger Cat Bathtub Print and the Black Cat Spa Print were made for bathrooms, while the Blueberry Kitchen Print and the Harvest Market Print suit a kitchen wall.
For gallery walls, painted prints mix well with floral prints and abstract art prints: the looser brushwork here balances the cleaner shapes in an abstract piece.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is painting wall art?
Painting wall art, as we use the term, means prints with a painted look: visible brushwork, soft edges and layered colour, whether the subject is a whippet, a Normandy garden or a ghost on a swing. They are art prints on paper rather than original canvases, so you keep the painted character and choose the size.
What kinds of painted prints are in this collection?
The collection includes painted dog breed portraits; Monet-inspired Impressionist scenes; floral paintings, including several Matisse-inspired pieces; painted travel prints of the Lake District, Glencoe, Bristol and the Mediterranean; Japanese-style paintings of a peacock, a swan and koi; cats in bathtubs and spas; funny portraits and pop culture parodies; and a series of cute autumn ghost prints.
Are painted prints good gifts?
Dog painting prints are the easiest gift in the collection: pick the recipient's breed and it feels personal without trying too hard. The travel prints suit anyone with a connection to the Lake District, Glencoe or Bristol, and the Real Housewives parodies are for friends who will get the reference immediately and explain it to every visitor.
What sizes are available?
Most prints are available in sizes from 5x7 up to A1, with both metric and US paper sizes. Full size options are shown on each individual product page. For painted portraits and landscapes in living rooms, A2 and A1 let the brushwork read from across the room, while A4 and A3 suit bathrooms, kitchens and bedside walls.
Can all prints be ordered framed?
Yes. All prints can be ordered framed. We're rolling framed options out across the site, so individual listings will show whether a framed version is currently available. If you'd like a framed version of a print that doesn't yet have that option listed, get in touch and we'll sort it for you.
What is the print quality like?
Prints are produced on FSC-certified 200gsm fine art paper using a 12-colour press with a matte, glare-free finish. The matte finish suits painted artwork particularly well, since there's no sheen competing with the soft tones and blended colour.
Where do you ship and how long does delivery take?
