Giclée
Whether you are looking for an original painting or a high quality giclée art print, Watergate Art has a diverse range of original paintings for sale from established and emerging artists around the world.
The term "giclée" is derived from the French word *gicler*, meaning "to squirt" or "to spray." It refers to a high-quality printing process in which fine droplets of pigment-based ink are meticulously applied to archival-grade paper or canvas. This technique ensures that each limited edition print remains true to the original artwork, capturing every detail with remarkable precision.
Giclée printing is renowned for its ability to produce a vast and rich colour gamut—the full spectrum of colours visible to the human eye. Unlike traditional lithography, which typically uses only four colours, giclée prints often incorporate five tones: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow, and black. This expanded range allows for exceptional colour accuracy, depth, and vibrancy.
