Product & Services
At FACE Fine Arts we aim to bring high quality artwork at affordable prices to the market place so that everyone can enjoy the magic that art brings.
Our portfolio includes:
Original Art
Anyone who appreciates art or who has had the opportunity to be involved in the process of creating an original piece of art, will know how wonderful and magical that process can be. The finished artwork, is in effect, a little piece of the artist who has created it. With this in mind, then it also follows that if you commission a piece of art to your ideas and wishes, then it then becomes a little part of you too!
At FACE Fine Arts we are very lucky and proud to make our original paintings accessible to everyone by hopefully breaking down some of the barriers that surround art, such as exorbitant costs and the fear of the unknown.
We cover many subjects, genres and styles, from detailed figurative work; to contemporary abstract pieces; to simple, colourful gift items that will bring colour into everyone’s lives and brighten their day.
Reproductions
If you are not quite ready to invest in original art, then we also have fine art reproductions for sale. We have a wide range of quality limited edition and open edition prints, all of which are printed on fine quality, acid free, coated papers (substrates), which are specifically crafted to accept the inks used in the reproduction process and which provide a colour intensity and crispness not possible to achieve with non coated art papers.
The printing process used by FACE Fine Arts is called Giclee – roughly translated from the French phrase ‘little squirt’.
As it name suggests it is a process of lightfast, pigment inks being sprayed/squirted from jets onto the substrate (the fine art paper). The printer used by FACE Fine Arts holds a wide gamut of 12 different coloured inks, which are of archival quality and which are capable of producing stunning results.
Limited Edition Giclee Fine Art Reproductions
These can be supplied either on:
- quality, heavy weight (minimum 300gsm) coated papers, which allow for longevity of the reproduction and which are provided for sale in a cellophane packet and supported on an acid free, ph neutral backing board, which can be used in framing to ensure that your reproduction will last for many years to come. You can also have the added luxury of having your chosen ‘paper’ reproduction framed using our bespoke framing service, allowing you to have your chosen artwork presented ready for hanging.
- Or quality, heavy weight canvas, which is then hand embellished/ varnished and presented on deep rebated stretcher bars, ready for hanging;
- Or quality, heavyweight canvas, which is then hand embellished /varnished by the artist and attached to a flat board ready for framing either by yourself or through our first class, bespoke, quality framing service;
Each limited edition fine art reproduction is signed and numbered by the artist and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, detailing the number in the edition and all printing details.
Open Edition Reproductions
These Giclee fine art reproductions are produced on quality, coated papers (minimum of 260gsm) and are presented for sale in a cellophane packet and supported on an acid free, ph neutral backing board, which can be used in framing to ensure that your reproduction will last for many years to come.
These reproductions also carry the additional opportunity to have your chosen artwork presented ready for hanging using our bespoke framing service.

Fine Art Cards
Fine art, giclee printed, cards produced on quality, heavy weight, textured paper and packaged together with an envelope in a cellophane packet.
These cards can be used as greetings/celebration cards (they are left blank inside for your own message) or as small art reproductions which can then be framed.

NB Please bear in mind when using this service that the proportions of the piece would need to remain the same eg a 11 cm square card could be enlarged to say a 50 cm x 50 cm canvas or paper print. Please contact us for details.

Gift Certificates
If you don’t feel quite confident enough to choose a piece of art for someone else, then you can buy a ‘Gift Certificate’.
At FACE Fine Arts, we want to make the process of buying art, a pleasurable one and therefore offer Gift Certificates as a way of helping take the pressure out of buying something that you hope someone else will love as much as you do.
The certificates can be bought for whatever amount you wish (minimum of £20.00) and are ideal to give as wedding gifts, Christmas presents, etc. as they allow the bearer the freedom of choosing, or commissioning, their own artwork.
Certificates can be denoted with the bearer’s name and/or a short message for that extra special personalised touch when giving and will contain a unique number which can be used when redeeming against their chosen piece of art.
If you would like to purchase a Gift Certificate, then please contact us with the details.
Giclee Art Printing and Publishing Service
FACE Fine Arts offer Giclee Printing using high quality archival papers / canvas and pigment-based inks, for artists and photographers wanting to have their work reproduced in whatever quantity and size they choose.
Initially your original image will be digitised using a Canon 5D mk2, 21mpix camera, although if this has already been done, we will be only too pleased to your own digital image, subject to quality. We can also advise on enlarging the image and have software that will reduce pixilation during the enlargement process.
The service includes, having your art digitised (where necessary); the production of up to 4 proofs for approval and final choice by the artist – each proof will be closely colour matched to your original using slightly different techniques and therefore the final choice will lie with you, the artist, as to which one most represents your work; we will then work with you to choose the most appropriate media on which to produce your prints on eg smooth paper, textured paper, canvas, etc.
Once you have chosen the final proof, this then becomes the publishers proof and is stored in your own file, from which you can have as many or as few copies as you like (as little as 1 copy at a time). If you intend to print a Limited Edition, we can also provide Certificates of Authenticity.
Please contact us and we will be happy to quote costing as required.
NB The ownership and copyright of all published work stays with the artist and FACE Fine Arts will only act in the artist’s best interests.
