personal preference artv : Art Information
As you browse through our art gallery, you will discover that most of our images are originals or original reproductions on canvas. Because we have been refining our innovative reproduction techniques for decades, today we can offer you the fine-art look of an original oil painting at a fraction of the cost. If you look closely at our canvas transfers, lithographs, giclées and Textured Expressions, you will see the richness, depth, vivid color and sometimes even the texture of a $1,500 original painting for only $200-$300!
We are dedicated to making art buying easy, convenient and affordable. All of our artwork is delivered right to your door, beautifully framed and ready to hang. Below are descriptions of the various forms of art that are featured on our Web site.
Canvas Transfer
This process starts with a paper print. The image is lifted from the paper through a multi-step process and then transferred onto a canvas. This process is labor-intensive, extremely intricate and must be carefully done in order not to damage the print. When successfully completed, the image takes on the texture of the canvas and the two become one. It requires one print for each canvas and is only done with the artist's approval.
Lithograph on Canvas(LOC)
Lithography is the process of taking an original image and reproducing it on a new surface, such as paper or canvas. The technique was discovered in 1798 and made popular by Currier & Ives in the 19th Century. The first step in creating a Lithograph on Canvas involves a specialized electronic computer process that separates the colors in the painting and produces lithographic color separation plates. The four ink colors that make up the plates are yellow, magenta (red), cyan (blue) and black. The plates are then placed on a printing press and carefully run one color at a time. As the ink colors overlap, they create the full, rich color palette you see on the finished painting.
Artist-Enhanced Lithograph on Canvas
Once a Lithograph on Canvas has been created through the process described above, an artist then hand-paints portions of the lithograph to enrich the color and texture of the image. This time consuming process is called an Artist-Enhanced Lithograph.
Giclée
This type of reproduction utilizes the latest advances in computer and printing technologies. While Giclées offer an incredibly high resolution and color definition, they take a longer time to create than images made by traditional printing methods. The Giclée method results in an image that offers a depth and intensity similar to that found in the artist's original painting. A Hand-Embellished Giclée is created when the artist hand-paints portions of the Giclée to enrich the color and add texture to the image.
Textured Expressions
This breathtaking re-creation is amazingly faithful to the artist's vision and integrity of the original oil painting. The ingenious collaboration between the artist and state-of-the-art technology produces a multidimensional, heavily textured image on canvas that captures the warmth, depth, vivid color and even the texture of the artist's original painting. Textured Expressions images utilize a revolutionary new technique for giving heavy texture to the painting, which creates an "impasto" effect.
