Beautiful hand drawn and painted fine art
Welcome to Alan Taylor Art
Beautiful hand-drawn and painted fine art from international award-winning artist based in North Yorkshire
Living in Yarm in North Yorkshire, I am a self-taught artist specialising in pastel paintings and colour pencil drawings of animals and wildlife. My art has been exhibited in the Association of Animal Artists 2019 Winter Exhibition and 2021 Autumn Exhibition at the Station Richmond and I recently had a solo exhibition at Stockton Central Library.
My art was accepted for the International Guild Society of Artists 2020 Exhibition that, due to the pandemic, is being rescheduled to 2022.
I have recently won a special merit award at the international Light Space Time Primary Colour Exhibition for Flight of the Kingfisher and also awarded 6th place for Bubo bubo the Eurasian Eagle-owl in the “Paint and other Media” category of the Light Time Space 10th International Anniversary Art Exhibition out of over 2000 artworks.

Frequently asked Questions
What is a Giclée Print and what is ArtSure?
The term giclée was first used by printmaker Jack Duganne in 1991 for fine art prints reproduced using inkjet printers. The term giclée is from the French meaning to spray and therefore refers to how inkjet printers print. There is no British or ISO standard for giclée prints however the Fine Art Trade Guild, together with art manufacturers, have created a standard called ArtSure. Giclée print editions created under the ArtSure scheme must be created using printers, inks and papers that have been approved by the scheme and have been tested in a UKAA laboratory, or international equivalent, to give a lightfastness of a finished print of 6 or greater on the blue wool scale.
Approved printers are professional fine art printers that use pigment inks as opposed to dye inks used mainly by home printers. Pigment inks produce deeper blacks and hold their colour quality better than dye inks when exposed to sunlight.
No one can guarantee a giclée print from fading, however, giclée prints produced under the ArtSure scheme when mounted and framed correctly should last a lifetime.
I print my own giclée print editions using an Epson fine art printer with ultra-chrome HD pigment inks.
What is acid-free paper?
Acid-free paper is pH neutral paper. It can be made from wood pulp with the lignin and sulphur removed or from cotton pulp (cotton rag). Cotton rag is considered archival and will last hundreds of years without fading if kept out of direct sunlight, whereas normal paper yellows and becomes brittle with time. Our ArtSure giclée print editions are printed on 100% cotton rag.
What is conservation mat mount?
Conservation mat mount is acid-free mat therefore the bevel edge of the window will retain its colour without yellowing like a standard mat. Further, as conservation mat is acid-free it protects the giclée print from coming into contact with acid that would damage the print. We use conservation mat together with acid-free cotton tape to mount the print using the traditional T hinge system to protect the print, prevent the print from buckling due to humidity changes and allow the print to be safely removed from the mat at a later date if required.
Who are the Guild Society of Artists?
The Guild Society of Artists is integrated into the Fine Art Trade Guild and helps artists further their careers. It also awards qualifications to members who show a high level of professionalism in their work and business practice. I am a member of the Guild Society of Artists and have been awarded the AGSA.
Who are the Fine Art Trade Guild?
The Fine Art Trade Guild is an organisation representing the fine art and framing industry. Based in London, the Guild operates primarily in the United Kingdom and Ireland and encourages and promotes the best in art and framing by setting standards for fine art giclee print editions and framing.
