ASK BRAMSCHANDOZ

Q: WHAT IS A GICLEE'?

A: As artists, we have a way of making simple things sound really cool (ie impasto for thick paint , plein air for outside etc.). Giclee' roughly translated means "sprayed on ink" or in computer lingo an ink jet print.

JEFF'S TIPS

Try using different types of salt for your watercolor paintings. The resulting blooms vary and can add interest.
