Print Information
Prints are printed with UltraChrome pigmented inks using an Epson Stylus 2200 printer. Pigmented inks are extremely light fast and with proper care will resist any noticeable fading for many many years (between 60 to 100 years depending upon the paper used.) Prints are done on heavyweight matte paper (open edition) or 100% rag archival paper (limited edition prints). I scan and do all the post work on the art myself, so you can be assured the colors and quality are that of the original painting. This Epson printer makes ultra fine dots of ink which creates a superior high quality print with absolutely no apparent lines.
Caring for your print
For proper care of all prints, it is recommended that the prints stay out of direct sunlight, display them under glass and keep them in a low humidity environment and away from heat.

Not at this time.
What kind of paint do you use?
I use the professional series of the following brands: Daniel Smith, M. Graham, Yarka and Windsor Newton. I use both pans and tubes for watercolors. The Yarka watercolor paints are what I have been using most lately. As far as acrylics, I like Golden Fluid acrylics.
What kind of watercolor paper do you use?
I use either Arches 300lb hot press watercolor paper, hot and cold press Arches blocks or Crescent hot press illustrator/watercolor board. Arches is archival and won't yellow with time.
What programs do you use for your digital art?
I typically use Photoshop now. I used to use Painter a lot more, but find myself working more and more in just Photoshop. I use a wacom intuos III 9x12 tablet.
