Each Giclée-print on canvas is created and handcrafted with quality as the first priority. All printing of the giclées on canvas and assembly is done in my art studio. In my studio I have a large-format Epson printer where I produce each print one at a time, as ordered. All printing, canvas stretching, and other assembly and finishing is done in my art studio so I can control the quality and exact number of prints made. |
A behind-the-scenes look in my art studio at how I create my limited-edition prints on canvas. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
1. In my art studio I have a large-format Epson printer connected to a computer where I do all the digital work on the prints. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
One of the biggest compliments I get is when people tell me my prints on canvas look like original paintings. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Each high-quality, limited-edition giclée-print is is created using heavyweight, 380 g/ m2 canvas and then handstretched on a wooden stretcher inner frame. Each print is coated with a structured finish and a UV-varnish for added protection. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
2. After printing, each canvas is given a structured finish to replicate the brush strokes of the original painting. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The edges are printed so each canvas print is ready to hang on your wall - no framing needed! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
3. Then a double-coating of UV varnish is carefully rolled on the canvas to protect it from light and liquids. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Each print from Charles Kaufman is a colorful addition to any home or office wall. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
To keep the highest level of quality, all printing, hand assembly and packing of each canvas print is done in my art studio. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
See the Finest Details. Each print shows the finest details of the original work of art. Every brush stroke from the original is sharp and clear on your limited-edition print on canvas. The picture above is the actual size of the print showing the fine details in my prints. All my prints are made from a 1:1 scan of the original painting. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
4. Using top-quality, kiln-dried wood imported from Italy, the wooden inner frames are hand assembled for the stretching of the canvas prints. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
No mass production. Each of my giclée-prints on canvas is handcrafted when ordered. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
5. Hand stretching and affixing the canvas to the inner wooden frame. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

6. On the front of each print it is hand signed, dated and numbered by Charles Kaufman with a paintbrush and acrylic paints. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Just like the original painting - Each giclée print on canvas is hand signed, dated and numbered by the artist with acrylic paints. Watch a 21-second signing video here. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The number in each edition of prints is small - only a few people in the world can own one of my giclée prints. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
I personalize both the front and back of the canvas print for better future authentication. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
7. On the back each print the title is written, the number of the print and it is handsigned and dated by Charles Kaufman. Each print comes with an embossed & stamped Certificate of Authenticity that is handsigned, dated, numbered and titled by Charles Kaufman. |
