Q: What does "Limited Edition" mean? 
<p>
A: Because of the time and effort spent on each print, each image is limited to just 25 prints in each edition! That means that only 25 of each prints will ever be made in the hand-embellished print edition. Once they have been sold out - they are gone forever! Each print is signed both on the back and on the front along with the "number" which shows which print number in the edition of 25 that specific print is. All Limited edition prints come with their very own certificate of authenticity that can be validated online.

Q: What does "Hand Embellished" mean? 
<p>
A: Hand embellished means that I, Philippe Fernandez, have hand painted small details and accents on each and every print with my usual acrylic paints and paint brushes. I also hand-sign and number the prints in paint. I then paint each piece with a semi-gloss UV varnish which seals in the links and acrylics.

Q: Can you tell me more about the process? 
<p>
A: After the prints have been printed on the cotton rag sheet, I then do the hand-embellishing with the paints & paint brushes, adding small details, signing & numbering the prints in paint. I then hand-paint the entire surface of each print with a semi-gloss varnish which provides UV-protection, a waterproof barrier, a nice satin finish, and it shows my actual brushstrokes which makes it look even more like an original painting. The print is then "heat set" at a high temperature to keep the ink from fading and making it water-resistant and very durable! These beautiful and unique works of art truly are the "next best thing" to owning an original painting. Also because of their durability and U.V. protection, all limited edition prints may be displayed with or without glass
