What is a Giclée?
What is a Giclée? - Canvas Giclee (pronounced “zhee-clay”) Art Prints, without question, are the closest you can get to the actual quality and likeness of an original oil painting on canvas. Next to the original, their quality and beauty is unmatched by any other medium.
A hand embellish Giclee is hand detailed by the artist adding depth and texture to the print similar to what you find on the original painting. Hand embellished Canvas Giclee prints have the authentic look and feel of brushstrokes. In fact, from across the room a hand embellished Giclee can be hard to distinguish from the original printing!
