Opalesque paper has a silk-like opalescent surface that highlights the beauty of the artwork.
Because the Opalesque surface resists absorbing the inks into the paper, the print is rendered with remarkable resolution, vibrant colors, and a luminous quality. The skin tones and fabrics in Vargas' works are particularly well depicted. Opalesque paper is reserved solely for our Vargas Deluxe Edition prints. In most cases, the Deluxe prints have a smaller edition size than the Regular Edition prints, thus making the Deluxe prints more rare and, consequently, more valuable. Arches is a high-quality watercolor paper and is widely used for original works of art as well as for limited editions prints.
