The word “giclee” is a French term meaning to “spray or squirt”. In giclee printing, no other screen or mechanical devices are used. Therefore, there is no visible dot screen pattern. The image has all the tonalities and hues of the original painting! The word, giclee, as a fine art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant, archival inks. I believe the giclee printing process provides the best accuracy of color reproduction today.
Jill Saur Fine Art uses a premier reproduction company to produce her giclee's. Using state-of-the-art equipment, and unrivaled expertise, they meticulously match every color in the giclee to the original work of art! Using Archival inks, papers and canvases, they produce the most superior giclee's that we've seen in the market today. These works of art can confidently be handed down as family heirlooms to the next generation. Each giclee is hand varnished to protect the painting from sunlight and to give the painting a beautiful luster.
HAND EMBELLISHING
Hand-embellishing is a term used for taking a giclee and hand painting key areas of the artwork with fresh paint. Giclees are a great way to start collecting the work of an artist whom you admire, especially if the original is sold and you love that painting. My giclee’s are luminous, brilliant in color, and one of a kind, because no two giclee’s are embellished exactly the same. I hand-embellish each one with the same paint that I used on the original. When my clients receive their painting, they can’t believe it’s not an original! Each series is limited and I keep my edition numbers low. Please read what of my clients wrote regarding her hand-embellished giclee (painting on left).
"When we found “Autumn Gold” on Jill’s website, we were delighted. We fell in love with Aspen trees while visiting Colorado and we wanted a painting that would help us capture the special moments we shared there. At first, we were a bit skeptical about purchasing a painting online, but after talking to Jill, we were totally at ease. We loved the fact that she was always available by phone and continuously kept us updated by email. The painting was delivered in a perfectly sealed package and it was a joy to receive it. We ordered a giclee and you would never know it wasn’t the original! Jill added so many embellishments to the painting! We also appreciated the finished edges, eliminating the need for a frame. The painting has a perfect combination of colors, yellow and red with hints of green and even blue. We are so proud that it is part of our home. Thank you, Jill. We will be in touch".

On the right, take note of the rich texture that I added back onto the giclee, giving it the look and feel of an original. It has become a one-of-a-kind, hand-embellished reproduction! I even have several of these in my own collection!
