Paint the Town San Diego!

[[start tab]] Painting Options "A night out in your favorite city, you are ready to paint the town. The colorful streets guide you forward- swimming with restaurants and people ready to embrace the evening. The night is yours and it’s sure to be one to remember."  ~CLAIR  GICLEE DESCRIPTIONS Canvas Giclee: CLAIR's Signed and Numbered Canvas Giclees are printed on canvas and signed and numbered by the artist.. By printing on canvas, the colors achieved are mirroring the intensity, vibrancy and color of CLAIR's originals. Our canvas giclees are stretched on heavy duty stretcher bars and are museum wrapped (the painting continues around the sides), adding a three dimensional studio feel and creating the option to hang them unframed for a more contemporary look. Each one is signed and numbered on the back. Please note each giclee is printed per order. Artist Enhanced limited edition: An Artist Enhanced limited edition is the next best thing to the original. (at less than half the cost). First I take a canvas giclée, and paint over the entire thing with oil, acrylics, and adding texture as I follow the brushstrokes of the original and sometimes changing colors slightly. (each is a one of a kind) Then if you like, I can personalize the painting making the couple in it look like you by changing hair color, eye color, add a favorite flower, favorite bottle of wine, add a special date in the clouds, or whatever makes it personal to YOU! After all this is your painting, custom made especially for you. Its your choice to make changes or keep the piece just exactly as you see it. Having an Artist Enhanced limited edition that has been painted over really brings the giclée to life, adding bright, vivid color– there is nothing like it. Keeping within my commitment to my art, I have set the edition size very low. (Typically there are only 10 Artist Enhanced limited editions ever made for each painting, so they can sell out fast) Since Artist Enhanced limited editions have a lot of work that goes into them, I require a minimum of of 4-6 weeks (this can time can depend on how many orders I have to complete, as I will never sacrifice quality of my work.) To get started please email me 3-5 good head shots of the person(s) you would like to be in the painting (if it is painting that already has a couple in it I will keep the same placement of people and only make changes after we discuss in detail what you want.) See some other Artist Enhanced limited editions I have done HERE!    Canvas Mini Giclee: Our canvas Mini's are perfect for those small spaces, or great for giving as gifts. They are also wonderful in a grouping of 3 or 4 for a greater impact.  They are stretched on light stretcher bars and they include hanging hardware on the back, so they are ready to hang as soon as you get them home.  They are printed in an open edition. [[end tab]] [[start tab]] What is a Giclee A Giclee (pronounced zhee-clay) is a high-end upscale fine art reproduction.  Each giclee is custom created, one-at-a-time as it is acquired by collectors. In the giclee process, the image is generated from a high-resolution digital scan and printed with UV inks onto archival quality canvas.  An ultra-fine stream of non-toxic water based ink, more than 4 million droplets per second, is jet-sprayed onto the canvas.  This produces a combination of over 3 million possible colors resulting in prints that are lush and vibrant with the look and tonality of a fine art oil painting.  Limited-edition giclees are signed and numbered on the back. A fantastic advantage of giclee printing is that the digital images can be reproduced to almost any size, giving the artist the ability to customize prints for a specific client. Giclee prints have gained worldwide acceptance in the art community and can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Louvre in Paris.  [[end tab]] [[start tab]] Delivery Giclees and Mini Canvas Giclees will arrive within 2-4 weeks.
