About Giclee
Giclée (pronounced "jhee-clay") is a term used to describe the process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word "giclée" is derived from the French verb "gicler" meaning "to squirt, spurt, or spray". The term is often used in museums, galleries, and print shops to denote the highest quality and standards in fine art reproduction.Our giclées are printed on genuine Hahnemuhle - William Turner watercolor paper (310 gsm). This premium paper is made of 100 % cotton or pure alpha cellulose, and has a textured surface with a matt Premium-Inkjet coating. This special coating permits high quality printing. "With its matt watercolor texture this paper is a genuine mould-made paper in both look and feel. William Turner is ideal for reproductions of traditional artworks and also for striking and expressive photo reproductions."
Each giclée is embossed with an official California Watercolor seal of authenticity.
Our premium quality fine art giclées are scanned from the original work of art. You will not find these watercolors available as fine art giclées on any other website, making Californiawatercolor.com a unique resource for the serious art connoisseur.
