Berwick-upon-Tweed’s skyline is dominated by its distinctive pantiled roofs - a legacy of the town’s past as an important centre of trade in Northern Europe. Pantiles were used as ballast in ships from the 17th Century onwards and so the trend for these orange-red tiles can be seen in a number of places along Scotland’s east coast, as well as in this - England’s most northerly town.
Inspiration and Values
This illustration of a view of the skyline of Berwick-upon-Tweed from the vantage point of the Elizabethan fortifications was hand-drawn in black ink. I then added a splash of ‘orange’ colour to highlight the roofs, creating a bold, modern statement piece.
Sustainability is important to me and I source all of my art prints from an ethical and environmentally-responsible, UK-based company. This one has been printed on to a premium, heavy-weight paper made from sustainably-sourced eucalyptus pulp, using environmentally-friendly ink. I don’t use any plastic in my packaging and there’s always a little extra something in your order as a thank you for supporting my small business.
A percentage of my profits goes to support a number of local charities that look after our built and natural environment here in North Northumberland.
