<p>[QUOTE="antidiem, post: 3045831, member: 30"]The "feel" of a grease pencil may not be perceptible to a non artist, or you'd have to have very keen tactile senses. Yes, it should smear a small amount off on a q-tip if you want to have a go at it on a part that is not near the signature. Do not wipe on the signature. A hint of iso.alcohol on the qtip will make more of a mark on the painting (or print) so if you use a cutter like alcohol, be sure it is very dry and in a non descript place. If nothing - it's a print. </p><p><br /></p><p>It looks original to me, but I have a question, the flat canvas has been cut down to fit the frame on two sides, cut by hand with a utility knife. What am I looking at in your last photo above? Is there a fabric paper type canvas of the picture laying on the top of the flat canvas on which you can see the hand cuts from the back? Is that flat canvas - nothing more than more backing, along with the original sunset print?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
