Creating Prints on Luxury Watercolor Paper - Perfect for Watercolorists and Pastel Painters

This article is going to showcase our Luxury Watercolor Paper

Contrary to popular opinion, giclee fine art prints are not just for acrylic and oil paintings on canvas. In fact, watercolor and pastel paintings make for some of the most accurate and impressive giclee prints available. The reason for this is the lack of heavily textured brush work in these mediums.

The great challenge in re-creating any original art piece as a print is in capturing the essence and texture of the brushstrokes. Obviously, with highly textured work you are attempting to create a 3-dimensional original in a 2-dimensional way. While the superb fine art scanner we use at PrintThatImage.com does a fantastic job of capturing every nuance of your painting, the fact that watercolor and pastel works are typically 2-dimensional in their original format lends itself to virtually unsurpassed print quality.

In effect, you limit the variable in the print making process to color correctness alone, rather than color correctness and texture.

With that said let's take a quick look at our Luxury Watercolor Paper, and how it can help you to increase your art sales:

If you're a watercolorist or use pastels in most of your originals then this medium is absolutely the best paper to pick for reproducing your work. It is very heavy, almost like card in thickness and has a beautiful velvet-like quality to it. It also has the same texture as the high quality watercolor paper that you use for your original paintings. Of course, it is archival quality - completely acid free.

Watercolorists are typically seen as fast painters, and many of you probably do very well selling only originals. However, wouldn't it be nice not to have to work quite so hard for every penny? To take a little pressure off creating enough work for your next art fair? I strongly recommend giving our Luxury Watercolor Paper giclee prints a try. It's really simple and very affordable. Here's how I suggest you try it out:

1. Make digital images of a few of your favorite paintings - no need to be fancy here, we'll start with small prints. So, place the paintings in good light (outside on an overcast day is perfect), and snap a few pictures with your own digital camera.

2. Send the images to us. You can upload them directly at http://www.printthatimage.com/ImageUpload.html

3. We will review your images for resolution and quality, and make minor adjustments if necessary.

4. Take andvantage of our free proofing option. We will send you proofs of the prints prior to printing at the sizes and quantities you'd like. Proofs are mailed right to your door, no charge.

5. Review the proofs, make notes, and shoot us an email or give us a call. We'll make any adjustmets you need and either go ahead with full size prints, or send you another set of proofs. Our goal at PrintThatImage.com is to create long term customer relationships, so we invest our time and materials up front in order to make sure that you are satisfied with our print quality and customer service.

If you'll just give us a try I know that you'll really be impressed with how beautiful your paintings look printed on our watercolor paper. With 4x6 prints starting at just $2.16 you can make good profit on them at your next art show, while at the same time opening up ownership of your work to a whole new group of collectors.

For a really professional touch have us add your name, title of print, website information, and copyright to the border of the prints.

If you're in the Fort Lauderdale area then we can personally scan your original painting to create your giclees, but otherwise send us your images by uploading right on the website.

We look forward to working with you, thanks for reading!
