KATHERINE RADCLIFFE ART

Patterned Papers

 Limited Production Marbled Papers

Katherine Radcliffe’s professional reputation as an artist was established in the medium of marbled printing. Using oil based paints, she developed an assortment of faux marble  papers, including those resembling malachite and lapis lazuli; and layered  tortoise shell patterns. Because  Radcliffe no longer does oil marbling, a very limited supply of papers done with oil paints can be purchased, until they sell out, at  sources listed at the bottom of this page. 

Oil Marbled Patterns

Acrylic Marbled Patterns

Some of the most popular patterns of the oil marbled series  are now done using acrylic rather than oil paints, to replace the oil versions. They differ slightly in appearance from the originals but are similar enough to retain the same pattern names. Examples of applications using oil based marbled papers are shown below next to the four acrylic marbled papers that are sold through the same sources listed at the page bottom.

One of a Kind Acrylic Marbled Papers (more images to be added soon)

Done on painted papers then marbled with metallic and iridescent paints, the two papers shown below are from a series called “Rainbow Marbled” papers. They are smaller in size and sold in cellophane pack sets of two sheets cut from the same larger paper.  Available in New York City at The Ink Pad, www.theinkpadnyc.com, and New York Central Supply Company, www.nycentralartsupply.com

Limited Edition Painted  Papers - “Constellation”

This series got its name because of the resemblance of finished designs to the constellations.  Acrylic paints are applied in layers and lightly spattered with accents of metallic gold and interference colors They are limited to special order through the sources listed at the bottom of the page or directly from  the artist. Store references for “Constellation” papers vary in name and number so are not listed on this page, nor is this a complete display of choices available through those suppliers.  

In popular demand are COLLAGE PACKS, which contain a diverse selection of hand marbled, printed, or painted papers, as well as some plain paper, small cuttings, and a special “surprise”.  Packs contain approximately 4 ounces of paper in a re-sealable, 6”x9” cellophane bag; no two are exactly alike. In very limited supply, they can be purchased through www.washiaccents.com; and in New York City at The Ink Pad, www.theinkpadnyc.com
