Art Reproductions ( Paintings , Sceneries )

Commercial printing, as refined as it is today, is able to produce reproductions of Watercolor, Oil and Acrylic Painting, Drawing and Photographs. With the many different types of prints and reproductions, it’s necessary to understand their differences if you are hoping to add them in your room or area.

Here are some of the main types that art collectors should be aware of when choosing to purchase prints or reproductions:

Aqua Print:

Aqua Print is a printing process which uses color separation. The colors can be bright but the texture of the finished reproduction art is flat and does not mimic the artist’s brushstrokes.

Artagraph:

The Artagraph is a special printing method which recreates not only the color of the original but also the surface texture. This is achieved by taking a silicone mold of the original oil painting and using it in the fine art reproduction.

Canvas Transfer:

Canvas transfer art reproductions are basically prints on canvas rather than paper and remain flat, unable to recreate the texture of the artists’ brushstrokes.

Etchings:

The art reproduction image is etched into a copper plate, ink is then applied to the plate.

Giclees:

Are produced from a color transparency made from the original oil painting usually by taking a photo or using a drum scanner.

Hand Painted Reproductions:

This method of fine art reproduction involves a trained artist carefully copying the original oil painting. The artist mimics the exact colors, texture and brushstrokes of the original masterpiece to produce a fine art reproduction that is a stunning replica of the original oil painting.

Lithograph:

Basically this is standard offset printing. The art reproduction image is drawn on a litho – limestone or exposed to a light sensitive litho plate. The printing surface is kept wet with a sponge; the ink is then rolled by hand onto the plate or stone. This is a popular art reproduction method for posters but falls to recreate the brushstrokes and texture of oil paintings.

Serigraphy:

Also known as screen prints. Serigraph art reproductions are produced by creating a stencil on the fabric that is stretched across a frame for each color by a master printer. They can have a thin texture but cannot mimic the heavy texture of oil painting.

Dyes VS. Stains : What is better concrete dye or stain?

Using Dyes On Concrete ? What Are They, And How Do They Differ From Chemical Stains ? What is better concrete dye or stain? Dyes are the latest buzz in the decorative concrete community. Their ease of use, extensive palette, and vibrancy of color (which can be more intense than chemical stains) are creating a wave of popularity that is gaining momentum. Unlike stains, which react chemically with the calcium hydroxide in concrete, dyes are nonreactive and impart color by penetrating concrete or other porous cementitious surfaces. Dyes are much smaller in particle size than chemical stains or acrylic stains, thus allowing for easier penetration and color saturation while leaving less residue on the surface. A good analogy for comparing the color intensity and penetration of dyes to stains is that you can fit a lot more marbles than bowling balls into the same size container. The small dye particles fill the pores of the concrete and are very hard to remove

Acoustic Panel

Acoustic panels are used to reduce noise and control sound in many different spaces. They come in a large variety of sizes, types and colors to meet your design, budgetary, and durability requirements. An acoustic board is a special kind of board made of sound absorbing materials. Its job is to provide sound insulation. Between two outer walls sound absorbing material is inserted and the wall is porous. Thus, when sound passes through an acoustic board, the intensity of sound is decreased. The loss of sound energy is balanced by producing heat energy.
