Painting mediums

There are many different materials that an artist may use to create an original artwork, including oils, acrylics, watercolour, gouache and mixed media.

Colour and technique

The subtleties and depth of colour are clearly evident. It is easier to comprehend the technique the artist has employed by direct observation.

Surface texture

The actual painted surface is clearly visible, such as texture and any expressive brush strokes and mark-making.

Collector value

For customers who want the artist’s true original piece. However, even after purchase, the artist still owns the intellectual copyright.

Open editions

Open edition prints are reproductions of an artwork or photograph with no set limit on the number of copies that can be produced.

Limited editions

Limited edition prints are high quality reproductions of an original artwork produced in a strictly capped, fixed quantity.

Artist enhanced

Artist enhanced prints (hand-embellished) are reproductions that the artist has altered after printing, usually using paint or gel mediums, to give the visual effect of the original artwork.

Hand signed

Hand signed prints are individually signed by the artist, usually in the margin below the image, ensuring it meets the artist's approval and increases its authenticity and collectability.
