Sales of Paintings and Prints
The Darcus Studio deals primarily in original paintings.
A selection of the paintings represented have been reproduced in editions of Giclee prints
I began making prints to satisfy demand from people who wished they had purchased a particular painting, and had missed their chance, or from those who desired a less expensive way to enjoy my images in their homes. The images below are the ones currently proofed and ready for reproduction.
All paintings in this gallery may have prints made from them, if there is interest. Therefore, if any image appeals, please contact the studio.
Prints are computer-generated Giclee prints, on acid-free paper, using archival inks.
The printing process is the result of computer technology, which allows for printing-on-demand, thereby saving large cash advances for editions of prints that might remain unsold. In this manner prints may be ordered, and produced, as required.
Print sizes
Another advantage of computer generated prints is that images can be created in any size, up to the size of the original painting. I have initially chosen three sizes (see below), but digital flexibility allows for custom printing.
Edition Sizes
Giclee prints are very fine quality reproductions, but they are not limited edition, hand-made, fine art prints. Therefore I have decided not to limit edition sizes and to let demand be the final arbiter of sales. In this I follow the example of the recording industry and other media. Some editions will be very small, and some larger. I don't anticipate any million-sellers, but would not turn down a million offers. If this is a disappointment to some who desire collectibles I recommend they consider buying an original painting. All prints will be signed and numbered for authentication and recording purposes.
