Canvas printing is a technique which allows digital photographs to be turned into full scale works of art of the type which can be seen hanging on the walls of galleries and for sale in expensive art shops. A photo canvas unites the modern virtues of digital photography, with its crystal clarity and pin sharp colours, with the old fashioned warmth of traditional canvas.
Many people, when decorating their homes, like to select works of art to put on the wall which both look pleasing and say something about the personality of the home owner. This is often difficult, however, because the kind of canvas prints which can be purchased on the high street tend to be mass produced which means that the images themselves are often bland and unappealing, and, even if you do manage to find one which you like, there’ll be no sense of exclusivity. How can a work of art say anything about you in particular when hundreds of other people have got the very same print? The only way around this problem would be to produce your own work of art but, let’s be honest, not many people have the talent, confidence or indeed equipment necessary to produce a work of art in this manner.
At Bonusprint we’ve come up with a solution to this problem, and the solution is canvas printing. Just by visiting our website and uploading the image you wish to have reproduced as a photo on canvas, you’ll be taking the first step towards owning your very own bespoke work of art. The technology utilised means that it’s simple to upload the picture you’ve chosen, pick a size and shape of frame – from small square to imposing landscape- and then tweak any other details such as perhaps choosing to have it printed in monochrome. When you’ve finished doing this, the canvas will be printed and stretched over a solidly built wooden frame using the stylish ‘wrap around’ technique which means that the image goes to the very edge of the canvas.
Many people choose to take advantage of this technique in order to produce their own family portraits. After all, pictures of your children which you take in the comfort of your own home, will be infinitely more relaxed than the somewhat stiff over-posed shots which often result from sessions in professional studios, and the resulting artwork will often capture the personality of the people involved much more effectively. If the idea of a portrait doesn’t appeal, perhaps you could put together a brooding landscape shot or something dramatic and abstract. As with the entire the process, the choice is yours and yours alone.
Photos on canvas will be treated so as to make sure that they can be wiped clean and won’t be damaged or fade through exposure to sunlight, meaning that you’ll have a work of art which is personal you and you alone, and which will last and give pleasure for many years to come.
