Although the term “mixed media” is generally used to describe artworks composed of a combination of different media and materials, Carol Benson-Cobb has embraced the term to categorize her custom, embellished works. The combination of materials used is the artist’s own original painting, reproduced as a giclée canvas using gallery quality, water-based inks, with additional paint layers inherent to the original work. The term perfectly describes the process for buyers.

We are often asked "what is the difference between the Mixed Media and the Reproduction canvas option?"

The most noticeable differences are quality and customization. The Mixed Media offers the ability to customize the artwork in size, orientation, or color. You are also purchasing a signed, collectible work, accompanied with a certificate of authenticity.

Canvas reproductions are high-quality replicas, using solvent printining technology and ink sets. Although similar in color, the canvas print is sealed at the time of printing. Reproductions are offered in limited sizes, with no signature or certificate. Reproductions are a very durable, budget friendly option.

In addition to the scaled renderings, canvas samples are a valuable aid. The canvas samples show the true color and quality of the Mixed Media and Reproduction option.

We offer a sample credit if a Mixed Media order is finalized within 90 days of the sample purchase.
