Recently I saw something like this where a Photoshop/Painter rendered piece that had been printed on cavas by a wide-body Epson 9600 printer, and then stretched over a wooden frame. After stretching the artist then manually applied color matched acrylic paints to a few places on the canvas. The addition of the acrylics bumped up the selling price an additional $500. Why? Because messing up the application of the acrylics = print again, new stretcher frame, etc. But, still technically "acrylics on canvas."

I have seen something similar at a Thomas Kincaid gallery. I asked the sales person why one copy of a work was so much more exensive than the other. I was told on the expensive copy Kincaid would "dab" paint onto the pre-printed flowers and a few other places. The differences in price were amazing.
