The Importance of Premium Supports

Acid-Free Cotton Canvas

Duane uses only acid-free, heavy cotton canvas, the medium of the Old Masters. Cotton canvas is not only durable but will not degrade over time. The surface has been specially prepared to accept and hold the inks, allowing them to radiate the brilliant color of Duane's work to maximum effect. You will not find a closer reproduction of the original painting than a print on canvas.

AquaPearl Acid-Free Archival Paper

Duane’s aquatic subjects are special. So special that Duane spent years searching for the kind of support that would accurately reflect the environment in which these magnificent creatures live. There is a special luminescence that exists under the ocean. It wasn’t until recently that Duane was able to duplicate that light effect on paper.

Duane’s “AquaPearl” paper translates the light effect he creates on his original paintings to a paper medium. AquaPearl archival paper allows the discriminating collector to experience the beauty and majesty of the undersea world in an affordable print that brings the beauty of that world to your living room or office.

AquaPearl is also acid-free which means it will not yellow or break down over time assuring you that your print will last a lifetime. You can read more about acid-free paper at this link.

Perfect for framing under glass or acrylic, you’ll experience the undersea world as if you were exploring that world in person.
