Collecting Original Tree Drawings | Cement Tile Art Guide

Owning an original drawing is different from owning a print.

Each cement tile piece is drawn by hand in ink. No two are the same. The surface, the weight, and the subtle variations in tone make every tile unique.

Why Choose an Original?

An original drawing carries the physical mark of the artist’s hand. The pressure of the pen, small imperfections, and the character of the cement surface all become part of the work.

Unlike prints, there is only one.

 

Materials and Surface

These drawings are made on hand-cast cement tiles.

The cement gives a natural texture and weight that paper cannot replicate. Slight variations in tone and surface are part of the material — they are not flaws but characteristics of the medium.

Each tile is sealed and signed.

Uniqueness and Value

Original works often hold deeper personal value because they are one-of-one pieces.

 

Collectors are drawn to originals because:

• They are singular

• They show the direct hand of the artist

• They often become long-term focal points in a space

Caring for Cement Tile Artwork

Cement is durable but should be handled though 

• Keep away from excessive moisture

• Avoid prolonged direct sunlight

• Dust gently with a soft dry cloth

When framed properly, a cement tile drawing can last for decades.

Choosing the Right Piece

When selecting an original, trust your instinct.

The drawing that stays in your mind is usually the right one.
