Original works are created
on high grade material. Acid Free and Lignin Free materials will not deteriorate
over time and remain white. High grade fine grain watercolors are used to create
the work and reflect a quality unlike that of common brands. New products have
opened up the possibilitys of experimentation with basecoats on surfaces, prepping
that surface for watercolor application. There after a clearcoat is applied
finishing the work with an unmistakable oil painted feel.
Giclée
(jhee-clay) - French meaning "to spray ink".
A scanned image printed on a high resolution, inkjet printer. A tremendous advantage
to Giclee printing is that artwork can be reproduced to almost any size and
on various media, giving the artist the ability to customize prints for a specific
client. Image permanence is a concern to artists and collectors. A Giclee Print
is very stable, giving fade & color shift resistance of better than 25 years
for average indoor light conditions. When watercolor paper is used, this time
span increases up to 125 years. We offer printing on three kinds of materials,
a Arches watercolor paper, Canvas and Lustor a photo quality paper.
"Whats
A Canvas Wrap You Say?"
Canvas wrap basicly means that the image is continued around the edge of the
piece. Canvas is wrapped around streacher bars anyway and where the edge exists
and is traditionaly white, this is printed on as well. It gives a very classy
look and eliminates the need for a frame. However one can be added if one wishes.
We previously offered our canvas prints mounted to hardboard however in the
end the costs are around close to the same for canvas wrap. So we've eliminated
the mounted option all together.
Open and Closed Editions
At this time, all prints of original works at the original size will be defined
as "closed edition" or "limited edition". Meaning that there
are a limited number of prints made per original. All prints will be hand numbered
and signed by the artist. Smaller prints can be made and are also signed but
not numbered as in a limited edition. This means that they are an "open
editon" any number of these can be printed and sold at that given size.
