This is a print of an original painting by Jonathan Sanders.

When Jonathan was working on his sculpture of Follow Me baby elephants, he sketched his subjects from a variety of angles. He further worked on one of his drawings until he was satisfied that it was a lovely painting it its own right.

Jonathan's original painting has been reproduced on high quality Innova Art Fine Art Watercolour cold press 330 gsm paper, using only Epson Ultrachrome inks which are guaranteed to be light fast for 120 years in normal viewing conditions. The prints are then carefully mounted by hand on Arqadia Minuet 2000 micron acid free conservation board that complies with Fine Art Trade Guild Conservation Level framing, ready for you to frame and hang.

The prints are carefully torn around the edges before mounting, so it stands slightly proud of the back board upon which it was mounted. ‘Image size’ refers to the size of the actual water colour paper image within the mount.

Once each image has been printed and mounted, it is individually signed and numbered in pencil by the artist. This is your guarantee that this is an authentic, approved print of Jonathan Sanders’s original painting.

Jonathan has spent many years studying elephants and other animals in their native Africa. His deep understanding gives his sculpture a unique life that makes his work very popular with collectors.

Jonathan Sanders Biography Photo Jonathan Sanders was born in 1959, and completed a degree in Fine Art at North Staffordshire University in the early 1970's.

While Jonathan was training, his talent for sculpting was immediately spotted, but he chose at that time to follow a career as a painter and his work quickly became sought after by collectors.

His work is so highly regarded that he undertook several notable commissions at that time including the cover for the South African band Ladysmith Black Mambazo’s album ‘In Harmony’ and a personal portrait of Nelson Mandela.

His original paintings are sought after and held in collections worldwide and his prints reach a wide audience both as limited editions in galleries and open editions sold in Next and Ikea.

As he painted, inspired by the landscape, wildlife, people around him and native African art, he gradually found that these same influences were also inspiring him to revisit his passion for sculpting.

Jonathan began to experiment with clay and wax, gradually developing a unique way of capturing the mood and weight of the animals he spent so long studying in East Africa.

"I find working in the three dimensional form truly fascinating," he says. "The pose has to have an element of drama. Then comes the anatomy of the subject which has to be accurate, but not to the point of compromising the movement and presence of the piece."

Jonathan initially cast several of his wildlife sculptures in bronze resin, but when asked what it means to see his work cast in solid bronze, he explains:

"The Bronze reveals all the manipulation of the original material. Its patina has a depth of colour that absorbs and reflects light. Pick the piece up and it feels heavy in the hand. A tactile, permanent piece of work that truly reveals the qualities of the artist’s hand."

His first limited edition bronze sculptures sold out swiftly and he is currently working on new pieces in his studio in Bath, where he lives with his wife and children.

Jonathan says, "Working in three dimensions has challenged me to look at my paintings differently and experiment with new techniques."
