Giclee
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
French term meaning: to spray. A process by which an image is rendered digitally by spraying a fine stream of ink onto archival art paper or canvas. A Gicleé starts with an original painting that is scanned into a computer where it can be color corrected. After being stored digitally, the image is printed on a high-tech printer, which sprays dye-based inks on paper mounted on a spinning drum. Moses' Gicleé prints have a projected lifetime of over 100 years under normal conditions out of direct sunlight.Gicleé printing is a high quality standard for printing single or limited edition pieces on paper or canvas. The Gicleé are printed with 100% natural dyes on a beautiful, pure white Faux Canvas Paper which dramatically reproduces the colors of the original art. Collectors appreciate the feel of the prints with their extremely high detail and brilliant color saturation. The word Gicleé ( pronounced Zjee-Clay).

Gouache Paintings
|
|
|

Gouache colors are very much like acrylic, only not as bright. Gouache may require a better technique from an artist, since the covering of the colors is not perfect, yet some artists make use of the effect of darker colors showing through lighter ones.

Gumoil
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pioneered by Karl Koenig in 1990, this photo process creates the deep atmospheric values of nineteenth century photographs. A film or digital image is converted to an enlarged black/white positive transparency. The transparency is contact printed under powerful ultra violet radiation onto heavy water color paper which has been coated with a mixture of gum Arabic and sensitizer. It is developed in running water and, when dry, rubbed all over with oil paint (usually black) and wiped off. Next the image is etched in household bleach which opens the next tonal region making it open to a second oil pigment. The final polychromatic prints are then glazed for permanence. No two gumoil renditions from the same transparency are identical although a high degree of similarity can be achieved. Each print is custom made by the artist.
