In this video I demonstrate my technique for hand enhancing a canvas giclee art print. I show you how to first seal the surface and then apply either acrylic or oil paint to enhance the canvas with texture and brush marks. This is a beautiful alternative that is enhanced by the artist to make a giclee print look more like the original painting. Thank you so much for watching! If you have any questions, please leave a comment, share with your friends and if you can, please subscribe to my channel! I post new videos every week.
What is a giclee print? Giclee is a french word that means 'fine spray'. Unlike a common print, a giclee print is achieved using high quality professional printers that have 12 colors of archival ink. Once a high quality image is taken of the original painting, it is loaded into a computer which is connected to the high quality professional 12 color printer. These colors which are archival inks, are then applied to the canvas or paper in a fine spray onto the canvas. This fine spray can be thinner than a human hair. The depth of color range is far greater than a 4 or 5 color printer most commonly used. This depth of color range can achieve the identical look of the original painting.
