What is a Giclee?
Simply put, a giclee is a fine art print created by using a specialized high resolution inkjet printer. A giclee an “art print” but giclee prints stand apart from normal art prints with their extremely high level of quality, longevity and value compared to a standard print. Pronounced “zhee-clay,” the word giclee is French for “to spray.” These are made to last, gallery-quality prints.
This literal interpretation of the word defines what the art of giclee printing is: reproducing art through a printer to exactly resemble an original piece. 
 
"The Forrest" is one of my favourite landscapes. I was feeling the urge to paint on a rainy day and decided to paint "The Forrest" in Gouache. I had so much fun playing with the hidden detail in the background, making me wonder what is right behind the Forrest walls? The silhouettes in the shadows was my absolute favourite part of the painting, especially mixed with the vibrancy of the leaves of the lighter Forrest trees. This is a personal favourite landscape because I feel like I could stare into it for hours and be entirely lost in the landscape.
 
The original was painted in Holbien Guache on a primed a 8"×6" piece of Arches' acid free cold pressed watercolour paper.
