DIY hand enhanced giclee print.

I converted a digital photo of my original painting into black and white, and then printed it at home on Fredrix Inkjet Canvas.  This is real, gesso primed cotton canvas thin enough to fit in a standard home printer.   I sealed the black and white print with two coats of clear acrylic medium.


Using a variety of filbert brushes, I proceeded to wash in the home colors with water thinned washes of acrylic paint. (Just about any medium could have been used to colorize this print (oil, colored pencil, marker.)






The hand enhanced giclee print pictued with the original 12"x16" painting Ajax Cuts Grease.
