FAQ'S
What is a Giclée print?
Giclée ( pronounced jhee-clay ) is the term coined for the latest generation of fine art reproduction. The term means “to spurt” in French and comes from the fact that a giclée printer is basically an inkjet printer taken to the extreme. Giclees are printed with a microscopic sized dot pattern allowing for virtual continuous tone printing. Using 12 different coloured inks we are able to capture a range of colours previously unheard of, resulting in the absolute highest quality print imaginable.
Do you take commission requests?
At the moment I am not taking on commissions due to other commitments in my personal life. However, I may be opening up spots in 2027.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes! All fine art prints and original artworks are available internationally. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.
How long does shipping take?
This is primarily going to depend on where the package is going. All New Zealand print orders will take approx 2-5 business days. All international print orders will take 5-10 business days.
Original artworks may take longer to allow the artist to get the work securely packaged and ready for transit. Please see shipping policy for more info.
Circumstances can change upon courier delays.
My print arrived damaged, what can I do?
We’re sorry to hear this. We do as much as we can to ensure prints arrive in pristine condition, however unfortunately some do get damaged in transport or due to weather. If this is the case, please send us a photo of the damaged package and/or print(s) to studioartbykerina@gmail.com and we will resolve the issue.
What medium and materials do you use?
All my artworks are made with soft pastels. Most commonly Derwent pastel pencils or Faber Castel Pitt pastel pencils. When I put down the base colours I tend to use pastel sticks which allows me to blend larger areas more quickly and build upon. My primary art paper to draw on is the Clairefontaine Pastelmat sheets. I may often use the Art Spectrum colourfix papers which has the extra tooth.
