Canvas Prints: Painting without a Brush

Why settle for artworks from other people, when you can create your very own? Through canvas prints, you can enjoy and see for yourself how you can create â€oeartâ€� effortlessly.

There are a lot of paintings for sale, but apart from being pricey, it is hard to find one that speaks to your personality. You can have one custom made, but the cost of hiring an artist is too expensive for most people.
Learning how to paint is an option, but as much as I believe that everyone has potential, only few will get to actualize them. Moreover, paints in themselves are expensive and the amount you spend trying to learn the art can just be too expensive and painstaking.

The Next Best Thing

When you want to create an artwork, but find you have little skill or resources to do so, you might try the next best thing: canvas printing. It comes pretty close to an actual painting, evoking the same feel, and look. From a distance it looks almost like a painting.

• Canvas prints as the name indicates, are printed on canvas, the same kind of canvas artists’ use for their paintings. It has a matte finish, in addition to the peculiar rough cloth texture, that makes the colors come out in rich, deep, dull colors.

• These prints come in a variety of sizes from as little as 8x8 inches to as large as 58x100 inches (for those larger than life portraits). This means, you can have them custom made to fit into any place you may have a need for them. Place a large mural on your living room, or get a smaller 11x14 print for private spaces.

• Canvas prints can be stretched or mounted without damaging the print. Request for an additional 2 inch allowance and mount it on wood for display. This makes it easier for it to be hung on walls and such.

• You can opt for grommets and place them along the 2 inch border if you don’t want these metal loops destroying your prints. Grommets are placed every 2 feet. Try to envision what your final print will look like with the amount of grommets it’ll have for its size.

• Digital images are easy to create. You can simply upload your favorite snapshots, enhance them to look like art work, and email them to your printer. Or you can create elaborate abstract design. Have fun with Photoshop tools and filters that let you create painting like images. The possibilities are endless.

• Reproduction is easy. One-of-a-kind is overrated when you want to share the beauty of your artwork to friends and loved ones. Because canvas prints are based on digital images, they can accurately be reproduced over and over. This makes family or group portraits a perfect gift for loved ones too.

• Use these prints outdoor too if you must. The material is water resistant and more durable than paper. It can be printed with UV-protected archival inks to slow down fading brought about by sun exposure. Have large sizes printed and use them as a banner. Or have them printed into smaller pieces and use them as special patches and what have you.
