What is an original painting?
An original is the painting that I create in the studio.I spend countless hours planning, painting, and finishing each individual work of art. These originals are highly collected and as each one sells, all others, both sold and not yet sold increase in value.
What is a Limited Edition?
Limited Edition means that there are a pre-determined number of prints produced of each painting. Once the edition sells out, there will never be another canvas reprint of that painting. Laura McRae Hitchcock Fine Art Editions come in multiple sizes ranging from 100 - 500 signed prints. Each one is hand signed and numbered by me and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
What makes Laura McRae Hitchcock Limited Edition Prints so valuable and why does the price of the prints change over time?
Laura McRae Hitchcock original paintings are photographed by professional photographers in order to get the highest quality reproduction possible. She has selected a beautiful, high grade canvas print with archival inks to produce smooth tones and rich colors. Laura McRae Hitchcock Fine Art Limited Editions are available in one size and are hand embellished by the artist making each print unique. These prints are designed with the collector in mind. As demand for one these Limited Edition Prints goes up, so does the price. Collecting early guarantees you receive the most competitive pricing available. Collectors who decided to wait to buy can know they are snagging one of the last available prints in an edition. Either way, the collector wins.
Will you ever re-publish a Limited Edition artwork?
Absolutely not. Each edition is produced in limited numbers, never to be reproduced on canvas. There may be prints of a painting made on paper in sizes that are different from the Limited Edition, but once a Limited Edition is sold out, there will not be any more hand embellished prints made on canvas of that painting.
Where are editions produced?
All Laura McRae Hitchcock Fine Art editions are produced in Scotts Valley, CA at a facility with over 40 years experience. Proudly made in The United States, each edition is constructed from the world’s finest imported and domestic museum quality materials.
What is the difference between an open edition print and a limited edition print?
Open editions are prints which can be sold for as long as the artists decides to sell them. Limited Edition prints are hand signed and numbered by the artist and created in an edition or limited number. Once that number has been reached, no more can be sold. Laura McRae-Hitchcock makes an even bigger difference between her open edition and Limited Edition prints. Laura's open edition prints are beautifully printed with archival inks on a lovely watercolor paper. They can be purchased in several different sizes. Laura's Limited Edition prints are printed on canvas with archival inks, hand embellished by the artist, signed, numbered and and a certificate of authenticity is included.
