The number of colors featured by the chosen design is the number of custom colors included. Additional colors will be extra for any printed artwork. The original paintings can have unlimited number of colors.
A Watercolor Ketubah is basically an original painting done by our hands, including the calligraphy, on museum quality heavyweight artist paper with permanent watercolor and gouache pigments.
The Giclee Ketubah is a printed reproduction of an existing design made on high quality archival digital paper, 300gsm. It costs less than the original of course, but it preserves the looks of a painting. It is made with outstanding care to detail and it can easily be replaced in case of damage.
They both take about 3 weeks to produce, and made to last decades due to the high quality mediums, pigments and inks we use.
A fine or brush tip are excellent choices as long as the ink or pigments are archival.
A few pens out there that will do a great job and are used for professional grade:
Copic Multiliner SP
Rotring Rapidograph
Sakura Pigma Micron
Prismacolor Premier Illustration Markers
Uni Pin Fineliner
Faber Castell
Staedtler Pigment Liner
Sharpie Permanent Marker fine tip or brush tip
Ballpoint or gel pens can be used if your hand is more used to it, but make sure they are archival and test first on the paper sample included, or on the back edge of the canvas print if applicable.
Extra care must always be taken when unpacking and handling artworks as they are highly prone to scratches, bends and fingerprints. Removing the work from the provided packaging without gloves could cause irreparable damage to it, like a visible fingerprint could leave a so-called “moon”. This would make returning the work impossible. Always use gloves or an equivalent form of protection when handling artworks. You can rest your Ketubah on a table or an easel for displaying art! We suggest you frame your artwork directly after receiving it using a conservation-grade acid-free board as well as museum glass or UV-blocking Plexiglas. Ask your framer people to use a removable frame and glass so you can easily put it back after signing....
Color varies from computer to computer, so despite my best efforts to provide the best representation of the designs, it’s possible that what you see on your screen might be slightly different than the colors you see in person.
