About the Lithograph Canvas.

It begins with a print, which is coated with an acrylic glaze and soaked in a water base bath, delaminating all or almost all of the paper, leaving the inks attached to the acrylic. This sheet of acrylic and ink is then bonded to a canvas and rolled. Once dry, one or more coats of acrylic are applied to seal the image. The canvas is then stretched around 1 1/4 inch deep stretcher bars just like an original canvas painting. The 1 1/4 inch deep outer edges are then handpainted. when finished, the canvas is signed and numbered by the artist. Editions are limited to only 450.

The touch and feel of these is very interesting to the fingertips and the dance of light off the surface is alive. They are as bright as the original painting.

The acrylic is pH balanced, it is non-acidic, and everything encased is permeated by the acrylic, so acidity is not a problem.

The response to the canvas is positive because the lithographs look and feel like originals and they don't require glass, which always presents some degree of glare and reflection or dulling of the image.

People like the fact that they can own something very close to the original.
