Hi, I'm JK Dooley, and we're talking about giclee reproductions today. And, one of the nice things about giclee is you can actually, the artist can go back in and what we call "enhance" or "embellish" the pieces. This can be done on both paper and canvas. And in a lot of ways that that can be a lot of fun for the artist is they can go back and just add little touches and different nuances. There are some very famous artists that do this, and you're probably familiar with their work. Personally, I don't enhance my paper pieces, and my canvas pieces, you won't be able to see this on video, but we'll talk about it later, I actually take a gel, and I go back in and brush the surface with that gel, so you it actually looks like brush strokes on there. And it actually looks, makes the piece I think look really really nice, and it also is a great protection for it. So, you can really hit the piece, you can actually clean it with a damp cloth, which typically you're not supposed to be able to do with giclees, but with this particular coating you can. So, it makes a really really fun piece, adds a lot to it, and it's definitely something that you can do with yours as well.
