Greenwich Workshop textured canvas printssuch
as Howard Terpning's Opening the Sacred Bundleare
published on a very selective basis. This unique and
valuable technique replicates the look and feel of
an original painting, including canvas texture and,
at times, artist's brush strokes. The image is first
printed by offset lithography with oil-based inks
on a thin piece of oil-based material. A mold of the
original painting can be used as a guide to create
a feeling of brush strokes, or the artist can re-create
the brush strokes. The mold is used with heat and
pressure to bond the printed image to the artist-quality
canvas. The resulting fine art print captures the
texture as well as the image of the original and is
framed without glass.
No canvas transfers!
Canvas transfer has become a generic term that is
not the standard by which Greenwich Workshop canvas
should be referred. Most transfers are a chemical
process by which inks are lifted from the original
medium (usually paper) to another (canvas). Most inks,
papers, and printing processes were not designed for
this use so there can be a breakdown in color. We
cannot control the image fidelity and will not put
our name on this process.
