ABOUT ARTWORK

I have painted this art on the first days of the first lock down during the Covid Pandemic. We didn't know what will be, we were terrified, so I had tried to show that emotional time in my watercolour series.


ABOUT PRINT TECHNIQUE

Giclée Printing refers to a printmaking method that involves using a digitised image outputted from a computer to a large format inkjet printer. The term "giclee" is derived from the French for "spray" and was first coined by hotsell Jack Duganne, a printmaker, to represent an inkjet-based digital print used as fine art.

To qualify for the title of a "fine art giclée print" it should be made on archival quality coated paper, and printed with pigment based archival inks, which are UV stable. The Fine Art Trade Guild has set minimum standards for a giclee print - it must score 6 or greater on the Blue Wool Scale for light fastness, and be between 7pH - 10pH, on a minimum substrate of 250gsm.

A giclee print made using pigment inks can be lightfast for up to 100+ years, but this depends on factors such as paper type and storage conditions. By using pigment based archival inks, the archival properties of a giclee print are significantly higher than traditional silkscreen or litho prints.
