Interested in Archival Prints?

Archival prints are available from my print store in MD Art Galleries. 

Learn about the types of prints available by watching this short video where April shows you each option and discusses the maximum size print you can expect to order. 
Types of archival substrates for your print include: Canvas or Watercolor Paper. If you select Watercolor Paper you can either get the print that could be framed with a mat and glazing; or you can get it mounted on a hard surface. April shows these options in the video.

You can search by painting title or category (landscape, figurative, animals, decorative or abstract). You can also use keywords to search for only watercolor, acrylic, or mixed media. I have used the medium designation of mixed media when my original painting was a combination of watercolor and acrylic.

Prints are available on watercolor paper or canvas in a variety of sizes, including a custom size to fit your space. If you want your watercolor print framed, you can order the mat and framing. Canvas prints have a choice of depth of the canvas and whether you have the image wrapped around the edge, a solid color of your choice, or a white edge.

Watercolor prints can be mounted on a firm surface. My favorite mounting surface is Sintra. If mounted, you need the print to be varnished if you want to frame it without glazing (i.e., glass or Plexiglas TM) to keep moisture off the surface that would ruin the print. The printer does not varnish these prints, so include a note with your order that you would like April to varnish it for you.

Archival prints are created using inks, watercolor paper or canvas that have been tested for permanence. The inks won't fade, and the surfaces will not yellow with age. It is important to me that your art print doesn't fade in 5 to 10 years, which you may have experienced in the past with other prints. This is why I source my prints through MD Arts Galleries. You can visit their parent organization, Archival Arts to learn more about them.
