Work Trip! Hand-Embellishing Giclée Prints in Florida

Is this a vlog?? In this video I share some footage from my "work trip" in Florida a couple months ago and show you how I hand-embellish my giclée prints!
I only have 2 limited edition, hand-embellished Lively Hilltop Glow prints left, so if you're interested, you can see the details here: www.brookecorm...

When you visit Mississippi, USA you are welcome to come to Cleveland, Mississippi. It is in the heart of the Delta. You will find us in the middle of the "Blues Trail". Bring your paints and enjoy the scenic agricultural landscapes. The Grammy Museum (east) is located in Cleveland. I have a room for you and your friend upstairs in our guest quarters. We look forward to your visit.

You are so goofy and fun.

You remind me of my girls, always laughing and having a good time. Thanks for sharing your talent.

[@brickfairie]

Omg!😂 I was a fan years ago when you were first working with Tim. It is awesome to see you on KZbin. You art us beautiful and you are hilarious 😂

[@CaffeineandConcepts]

the Baywatch scene was worth the wait. truly majestic, truly a cinematic masterpiece. if you decide to stop painting we all know you can take up slow mode running

[@b.cormier]

Haha I will not be quitting my day job 😂

Great video Brooke and wow, what a great golf swing.

Good video. David hasseloff Would be impressed with the Baywatch reference (And the casual Beach scene with the lovely birds and gators). Stay happy:)

I love watching your videos, the quality is amazing and you have such a fun personality!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks so much Danika!

[@russellgibbon8621]

Thank you. Great fun, fascinating as ever and actually, for me, very useful. I had been wondering whether it would be possible to print out an image as a giclee on a canvas, then work on it with paints to turn it into a "sort of original." Thanks for showing me that yes, this IS possible with acrylics. I was worried that the giclee print might be treated / finished and so it would "reject" any new original paint being applied on top of it.

[@carolhubley4765]

Your very funny and a beautiful painter. Thanks my fellow Canadian.

[@valeriascast]

I throughly enjoyed this!! I’ve always wondered how this was done!

[@b.cormier]

Thanks Valeria! Glad it helped :)

[@CoreyChambersLA]

Where can I find thick clear texture to hand embellish giclee prints, compatible with Golden Heavy Body paint? I'd like to add clear texture that matches the Golden Heavy Body texture.

[@mauricioescalanteart8185]

It's a beautiful video! aesthetically with very many values ​​and thematically you created a journey, covering several themes and closing with the wonder of your art. Excuse my English, it is very bad, I hope I have expressed myself well. Thanks for sharing your experience!!

where's the frame from in the video? the one where you paint on the print, the dark frame around it, its so beautiful :)

[@chipwalter4490]

Will you do paintings of the Florida natural scenes- birds, beaches ? Looks to me like you were on the Gulf side.. and I think you could do some amazing shoreline paintings of the Florida West Coast sunsets which are epic.

[@b.cormier]

I have some beautiful photos from the trip that I've been thinking about making into paintings! I was in Fort Myers ☺

[@maureencormier5036]

What a fun, informative video!! Was happy to help with the beach filming!! 😊💦

[@savannahhamilton3171]

I would love to know how you decide what material is best for your fine prints (glossy, matte, etc) - is it different for each painting? How do you handle packaging/shipping. Also what’s your method for pricing fine art prints. I’m currently stumbling through all of these problems lol! This is just a suggestion so absolutely no pressure, because I know that can be boring to talk about. Thanks! 😄

[@b.cormier]

Hi Savannah! I think material of the print depends on the piece and personal preference. As for packaging and shipping - I just uploaded a video about that! You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXa0iqyuncppmZY

[@savannahhamilton3171]

@@b.cormier Just watched! That was extremely helpful and hilarious! Cant wait to see your KZbin channel grow. Thanks for spreading your knowledge!

[@stevegreenfield6631]

Thank you. Once you embellish with acrylics will the paint crack if you attempt to roll your canvas if you were going to mail it in a tube?

[@vhris675]

For a second in the outro I thought you said "I'm broke Cormier" after you'd said you hoped to get paid for KZbin one day 😂 The disappointment when I realised I'd misheard...

Thanks so much! Try a Masterson Sta-Wet palette to help your acrylics last longer :)

Broke is hilarious. I feel like she was actor from Colorado, or TEXas In a past life haha 🤣 🤠

[@sobanosilva8585]

thanks for putting this together. - many yquestions answered. do you paint directly on the surface of an unfixed surface of a giclee print? or do you put some gesso on it before and after?

[@b.cormier]

Thanks for watching! I put the paint directly on the canvas and haven't had an issue. However I'm sure you could try putting clear gesso on top and embellishing over that!

[@joreno4419]

Superb keep it up 👍

[@snatchbloock]

I'm an artist and have ordered my first giclee. I'm excited about my next steps and plan on a 10 piece run based upon a pencil drawing I recently completed. If this first test run goes well, I will reproduce some of my oil and pastel paintings for interested buyers. I'm curious as to who you ordered your repro's from and how you rate their business model. TIA...

[@briansalazar7397]

Talented, super cute and kind of a spaz( just kidding) I LOVE IT!

[@kasiaciupa7504]

and paintings too, ofcourse

[@SerenityStudioArt]

Great video! Do we need to use clear gesso or a uv medium on the giclee print before embellishing?

[@b.cormier]

I've never primed the print before embellishing and I've never had an issue! But I'm sure using some clear gesso wouldn't hurt - I would just recommend testing it out an a test print to make sure it doesn't react poorly with the ink before using a good print!

[@lrizviart]

Hi, a sub from ur Instagram I was eagerly waiting for you to be on KZbin Lots of love to you U are inspiration 🥺💖

Do you varnish or seal the embellished prints? Thanks for the video and the insights!

You are the best

[@IsusE]

thank you so much for making videos! love watching you!do you take the photos for the prints by yourself ?

Thanks Elena! If its a smaller painting than I will take the photo myself, but if its a larger piece I will get someone else to do it :)

[@suzanneboily5224]

What medium do you use

[@Katie-ce6xj]

where do you get your painting Turned into giclee? do you use an online source or local?

[@eamonr7151]

The accent was 🤌👌🧐

[@CoreyChambersLA]

I find Brooke to be quite helpful. Her personality is both annoying and charming, like most real humans. Her genuine approach is made powerful by comprehensive inclusion of inspiration, technique and materials. Perhaps include even more information on materials and tools.
