I am just getting started selling my work and someone is interested in a print. If I have a print or multiple prints made how should they be numbered and signed? Can there be more than one Giclee edition or printing of the original painting? How would that appear in the signature?

Usually like this on paper signed in pencil below image:
1/100 Title of the print Your signature
If you tear or cut away the white border so the image bleeds, you will probably have to use a white or contrasting color Prismacolor pencil, so it shows up. If you tear, so there is a deckle effect, always tear from the back.
This form is OK on canvas as well, but many artists use a gold or silver pen.
Some artists will sign canvas giclees, lower right with date, and then use a marker on the back to show the number and how many in the edition.
Many artists do giclee editions in several sizes. Please listen to the podcasts on www.salestipsforartists.com, for much information on all aspects of selling your work, based on my 20+ years as an artists' sales rep and producing artist.
If any artist would like to ask a question on any sales technique, there is an email link to salestipsforartists@comcast.net on the website. I'll answer individually or put your question and my answer in a new podcast.
