MATERIALS
Oil paintings are painted on double primed archival Belgium linen which is mounted on a stretcher frame. The composition continues along the sides of the painting to allow the painting to be displayed without needing a frame. The paintings are then varnished three times with an archival protectant varnish giving paintings a beautiful satin sheen as it protects the work against UV damage.
If a painting is said to have been painted on a linen panel, it has been created on archival museum quality panels made of double primed 100% Belgian linen exclusively for oil paint. The linen is mounted on 1/8 inch MDF with a pH neutral adhesive , then sized and bound with linseed oil and one top coating of titanium white oil paint and finished to create an acid-free archival board that resists warping and provides protection from deterioration from moisture or mold. The paintings arrive varnished and unframed. Please, allow 2-3 weeks after having received the painting to place it in a frame.
Watercolor and gouache paintings are created from life using all materials that adhere to archival standards- watercolor and gouache on museum quality archival paper. The paintings arrive unframed and ready to frame.
*Please, notice that the edges are irregular, making the sizes somewhat approximate.
Fine Art PRINTS Reproductions (prints of photographs of oil paintings created by me) are limited editions, no more than 200 prints per painting.
The prints have no white border, as the images are printed full-bleed extending to the edges of the paper they are printed on.
Prints are created using archival pigment inks on museum-grade, archival heavy-weight paper, leaving each print a fine, smooth matte surface. In addition, all prints have a UV, water, and scratch-resistant coating.
Prints are signed and numbered. Prints are a very different medium than oil paintings. Although it's my goal that the prints show the closest representation of the paintings, it is impossible to get the identical color and texture of the original painting. There is, however, something very beautiful that happens in the print that softening of colors and textures that is appreciated as an entirely different art.
