I love that you’ve taken the time to explain this in such detail, with such spirit and energy - and in such a way that a total layman can comprehend it in one pass. Elite channel, new sub!🎉❤
Thanks! The painting is called Return. It is loosely based on a bridge at a nearby walking trail that I walk on fairly often. It’s my surrealistic take on it anyway.
Light from the lamps in a room doesn't bounce off a matt printed artwork. That will make the artwork stick out. It can stick out like a sore thumb..OR it can stick out like a beautiful center piece. IMO, go for matt only if the art is breathtakingly good. Else, the satin will add a flow and continuity to the eye which scans the room. Now if your walls are painted in semi-glossy finish and your artwork is in matt, the artwork is not going to participate in the warmth of the room when you switch on a warm light bulb. For the artwork to participate with the room's glow, it has to be in the same satin finish as the walls. In this case the satin canvas print is going to look way more beautiful and coherent.
Love this information! Love your channel! I sell my fiber arts at crafts fairs but I also do watercolors and haven’t tried to sell them. Do you worry about people trying to make copies of your art to sell? Do you copyright your art?
I should make a video about this, because it's a big topic to discuss much more than a response comment. But I would like to say that people have stolen my art, both at art fairs by photographing it and then printing it out for themselves later, and over the Internet by downloading my images, removing the watermarks and printing them. It really sucks when this happens. But unfortunately, it's part of being an artist. People steal your art... I try to keep my head up and keep going and hope of that it won't happen anymore than it already has lol it's either that or hide my creations in a drawer or storage room never show anyone. And I think that I'd rather have people steal them, than never show anyone my work out of fear they might steal it..
@@KrystleColeArt Yes, theft sucks. I came up with an original design that I had printed on a t-shirt. I have a market stall where I had these t-shirts available for sale. After being distracted by something else, I turned around to see two people assisting each other to photograph one of my t-shirts (working together as a team.) And at another market, someone came up and positioned his camera super close to one of my photographic greeting cards and then walked off without saying a single word. Some people have a lot of nerve.
Gently roll it, I have 2 videos that show you different ways of rolling and packaging art prints ua-cam.com/video/zxelUAkcceE/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/20jWb7EwmyI/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I’m currently working on printing my own comic and I desperately need your help or advice. I’m struggling to decide what type of paper would be best for printing comics. My comic needs to be 6.75 x 10.25 inches, so I’m looking for larger paper sizes like 13 x 14, 13 x 19, or 11 x 17 that can be folded down to that size. I don’t want the paper to be super glossy, but at the same time, I’d like to avoid regular, plain paper. Ideally, I’m looking for a paper that’s not too shiny, can be printed on both sides, and is perfect for comic book printing. If you have any recommendations or could guide me on the best type of paper to use, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much in advance! **i have Epson ET-15000
Yes, you can print on watercolor paper on the Epson P900. You can print on posterboard, very thick papers. You can adjust the height of the print head and there are different sheet feeders on it to handle the thicker papers also. The downside of printing on a watercolor paper, though, is that your prints might look a little washed out. It's better to print on paper made for the printer. They do make very thick press and cold press papers they are made for printing. Printer paper has a specific coating on it that helps the ink match the print colors to your screen with the ICC profiles in Photoshop. Maybe that's too much detailed information, but basically, your prints will look a little more washed out on non-printer watercolor paper.

Thank you so much! Glad it was helpful :-)
Great video. I absolutely adore Hahnemhule photo rag. More pricey but archival quality. No reflections, thick and it has a gorgeous texture 😍
I’ve heard great things about that brand, but haven’t tried it myself. Good to know!
Awesome information. Love that painting with the tree and bridge. So trippy. Keep up the great work. Mr. Samadhi ❤️

I´d say matt or semi matt (lustre as you call it), glossy will also cause reflections from sunlight or lighting
Yes, glossy definitely causes reflections from sunlight or lights. Luster has a reflection as well, but not quite as bad.

I really trust your opinion and judgement. Just curious, which is better in your opinion for framing. Glossy or Matte? Thank you.
Both are the same, can’t tell the difference once they’re framed
@@KrystleColeArt Thank you Krystle

@@KrystleColeArtThanks for the response. I can’t believe how bold people can be, but I love your approach and your attitude. Love your art!

So it looks like matte is the way to go also o will be laminating my wallet size matte photos. Will the photo be ok with the lamination?
lamination isn't archival so I don't know what will happen over time
How do you roll that paper without creasing? If I’m sending in a tube?

There is a double sided premium presentation paper matte by Epson that might work
What you recommended printing long bondpaper as picture?gloosy or matte?
I've never printed on bondpaper, so I'm unfamiliar with it
What is the maximum GSM of paper compatible with this printer? Can it handle watercolor paper?
Yes, you can print on watercolor paper on the Epson P900. You can print on posterboard, very thick papers. You can adjust the height of the print head and there are different sheet feeders on it to handle the thicker papers also.
