About my prints: I have my original oil pastels either scanned or captured. The latter is done by way of a 200 megapixel camera. The colors are carefully matched with the original drawing. Archival inks are used, which are expected to last over one hundred years. The printing is done on Epson Exhibition Water Color paper, which is a premium fine art paper.
Suggested display steps: After you receive your print, choose the color (s) and texture (s) of your matt and your frame—choose based on the colors of your print and on the place where you will display it. Frame your matted print under protective glass or preferably, under ultraviolet blocking plexiglass. Avoid hanging where there is exposure to high humidity or full sunlight. Museum quality framing is best. However, very reasonable standard and odd sized frames can be found online or stores such as Michaels.
Face mounting: Face mounting with a dibond backer is a beautiful option. It has no need to be framed, just easily prepared to hang on a wall. Limited selection available for face mounting by request only. Contact Janis at (415) 587-2468 for information and pricing.
