Portland - Gel embellishment

Gel Embellishment

Gel embellishment refers to the process of adding an "acrylic gel medium" to a canvas or paper print. This medium dries clear, creating texture on the surface of the flat print. Alternately, some artists mix acrylic paints with the medium to add colored texture to their canvas prints.

Gel embellishment is a great way to add a unique touch to your canvas Giclée print; this method will increase the value and enhance the appearance of the piece.

Q5 : How much texture can my embellished print have?

Q1 : Can I choose the kind of gel medium I want for my print?
At this time, we offer embellishment with gloss gel only. In the future, we hope to offer matte gel medium as a second option for embellishing your canvas prints.

Q2 : What is gel embellishment?
Gel embellishment refers to the process of adding an "acrylic gel medium" to a canvas or paper print. This medium dries clear, creating texture on the surface of the flat print. Alternately, some artists mix acrylic paints with the medium to add colored texture to their canvas prints.

Q3 : Do you add a protective coating over your embellished prints?
Because the print has already been sealed with varnish prior to embellishment, an additional protective coating is not required. We do not recommend adding your own protective coating at home, because it may react adversely with our varnish.

Q4 : How do I care for my gel embellished print?
A dry duster should work to keep your print free of any build-up in most instances. Unlike a regular Giclée canvas print, when your print has been gel embellished you can wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth to remove more stubborn dust.

Q5 : How much texture can my embellished print have?
The short answer? As much as you want! A regular gel embellishment will have a thin layer with peaks no more than 2 mm high. However, if you would like a thicker application, feel free to discuss this with us. Please note: there will be an additional charge for extra gel medium.
