Thank you for your kind words! Brief...Dear Sheila, <br />Thank you for your kind words! Briefly, regarding giclée prints— you first need a good quality scan of your painting. Usually the giclée print maker will do that. Then they will make color corrections until you are satisfied they have matched your original painting. I would visit more than one shop and "interview" them before selecting a print shop. You want to make sure you receive a copy of the color-corrected scan of your painting!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518981252382574336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32975410.post-86386351673503110832009-09-22T22:58:06.736-05:002009-09-22T22:58:06.736-05:00What a wonderful post, I wish I would have found t...What a wonderful post, I wish I would have found this when I first got started, would have save me some time and $$.

Then paint what's important to you... and use all of your senses, not just your eyes.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11518981252382574336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32975410.post-86190703108207728862009-09-21T20:31:50.830-05:002009-09-21T20:31:50.830-05:00I've all the materials for years now, yet I ca...I've all the materials for years now, yet I can't start. How exactly do you start learning to paint? <br /><br />I once asked my gifted 8 yr old niece how she draws, she told me, "It's easy. You look, then you draw. You look, then you draw." <br /><br />I still have no idea, but watercolors are something I want to do. At this rate, maybe in my next lifetime, haha.hadvhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09509025772524925053noreply@blogger.com
