The images shown in the galleries
on the following pages are digitally created from Frances Kephart Chernicoff paintings. The standard modus for the
development of each print consists of [1} photographs of the painting in various formats, [2] selection of the most usable image, [3] creating a test image involving image balance and cleaning, [4] processing the image through multiple editing programs designed to bring out the characteristics of the paint and painted image, [5] following several print tests with a 4-ink printer, the final image is sized and printed with a 6-ink printer on a choice of papers, which include canvas paper, high quality presentation paper, and/or Velvet high fiber cotton paper. The end result is a print looking very much like an actual painting. The computer programs accentuate the depth of colors and brush and/or palette knife strokes, providing a strong finished print. Final prints are made as orders are received, and are available in sizes up to 13"x19". Prints are framed and, in most cases, framed with a mat. Since each print is made as a separate production, each print can be considered an original; depending upon size, print production of each is limited to 125 copies down to 50 copies., with each piece signed, dated, and titled prior to shipping. Print pricing includes shipping - United States only, and shipping cost outside of the United States is discounted by what the local rate would be. Frances can be contacted using this email form |
