Prints On Canvas
Prints On Canvas
For this type of special project, canvas that has already been repeatedly gessoed and sanded is either supplied by the artist or can be prepared by us. The more sanding and gessoing, the smoother/better, as any imperfection in the surface might impair the quality of the printed area.
We can use our typical screen printing ink or, if artists have specific colors used in their work, we can color match using a new product developed by Golden Acrylic, to reinforce consistency with the artists other works.

This project combined printing on canvas with monoprinting aspects. During the production, Hebru would paint into the screen before printing, adding hints of other colors to the desired area. Other times, he would paint into the recently printed areas while the ink was still wet. Either way, the modifications would create subtle, non-repeatable variations in each of the canvas pieces. After our printing was complete, the artist finished the pieces in a variety of ways. Some had painted at backgrounds, others were flocked with diamond dust.

Below are some of the completed monoprints on canvas. Same layers and print order, but each have a different personality and appearance, setting them apart and making each completely unique.
