I'll share one more of Joseph Raffael's lithographs on aluminum here.  All four prints take advantage of the reflective metal surface mirroring the intensity and energy Raffael puts into his watercolors.  Brushing, screen print and lithograph are layered together in the aluminum prints reflecting light and creating movement.

Another one of our favorite Joseph Raffael  prints is shown here.  Process color is used again to reproduce the vivid colors.  The print layers brushing, lithograph and screen printing creating movement and depth.

Over the years we have worked with several artists creating originals and prints on aluminum.  Spring Pond was the first print we worked with Joseph Raffael on.  The final art illustrates the versatility and flexibility of the aluminum substrate.  The value of aluminum is increased by how you choose to decorate it.  In this case it is elevated to the level of fine art.  The same processes employed to create a nameplate or automotive trim are used in prints on aluminum.  Using these processes can help you create aluminum trim to elevate the perceived value of your product.

Process color is used to reproduce the many varied colors in the original art.  This lithograph is layered with screen printing and selective brushing to add further depth to the image.
