| 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.
