What is a Master Edition (M/E)?

Finding a Master Edition is the closest a collector can get to the Original but for a fraction of the price of an original. In a Master Edition, the ENTIRE glazing and highlighting process is done by Thomas Kinkade himself. In other words, no Master Highlighters or anybody else touches a Master Edition but Thomas Kinkade. Thom works the entire painting with oil paint and colors and uses original brush strokes to enhance the painting and glazing process. Thom typically takes over three months to complete a Master Edition. The best way to describe a Master Edition is to say that Thomas Kinkade basically repaints the entire piece himself. When Thomas Kinkade is finished, he will put his thumb print to the back of the canvas and will hand draw an original sketch on the reverse side of the piece. He will then sign the front of the piece.

Master Editions typically retail for the following amounts: 18x27 and 24x36 framed M/E prices are as follows: $16,860 (12x16 size), $18,400 (12x18 size), $21,750 (12x24 or 16x20 sizes), $24,500 (18x24, 20x24, or 18x27 sizes), $35,500 (24x30 or 18x36 sizes), $41,000 (24x36 or 25.5x34 sizes), $54,700 (28x42, 30x40, or 24x48 sizes)
