For Artists: Turn your original artwork in to fine art prints

Art prints now make up a large portion of my art business and I’m so thankful that I took the leap in to offering them. There is a bit of a learning curve and they require A LOT of patience but in my opinion it’s so worth it. Prints offer affordable ways for customers to own your artwork and provide an excellent opportunity to earn without burning yourself out painting all the time (as much as we would like to). The beauty of art prints are that they free up our time so we CAN paint more. I’m working on creating a wholesale business from my art prints and have found that a lot of boutiques and stores have interest in carrying them as well. I’m now on a mission to encourage other artists to do the same. One of the very best courses I took on how to turn my artwork in to prints is “Art to Print” by Laurie Ann Gonzalez.

All about Art Prints

Giclee printing is a high-quality printing method I use to reproduce my favorite oil paintings. I saved months for my p9000 printer and it has changed my life as a professional artist. It gives me the freedom to paint what I love, and then use reproductions to release prints in my shop. While most of my clients prefer originals, prints are well suited for those who may not be ready to invest in original paintings yet or who missed out on the purchase of a favorite painting.

Giclee printing involves using a specialized printer that sprays tiny droplets of ink onto a paper or canvas surface. These droplets are so small that they create a very detailed and precise image. The word "giclee" comes from the French word meaning "to spray". " When printed on canvas paper, the prints resemble the original artwork, both in terms of color accuracy and detail.

Giclee printers use a wide range of colors, allowing them to produce vibrant and realistic prints. They also use archival-quality inks, which means the prints are resistant to fading and can last for a long time without losing their quality.

One of the advantages of giclee printing is that it can reproduce a wide range of textures and tones, capturing the subtle nuances of an artwork. I only release a limited number of prints each year which makes every print special. If you have questions about my prints, please reach out any time.
