Creating Canvas Art without a Brush

Jennifer Silverman — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:01:02 +0000

You don’t need to take a painting class to create beautiful canvas art of your own. All you need is your computer, your creativity, and Online Poster Printing’s affordable canvas printing. With these, you’re well on your way to building a wonderful canvas art gallery right in your own home.

Digital Canvas Printing Benefits

Enhance

Digital image manipulation has become popular because it gives artists more freedom of expression. Chances of drastic errors are significantly less, and the artist can even modify their artwork during post-production to enhance the image even further.

Thanks to digital software, you can create wonderful works of art worthy of printing on canvas with minimal skill or knowledge. Our prepress team also checks your files with digital software to ensure your canvas prints are of the highest quality when printed.

Enlarge

With traditional painting on canvas, the size of your artwork is limited once you first apply your brush to its surface. With printing digital art on canvas, Online Poster Printing can enlarge your artwork to any size, as long as your file’s image resolution can handle it.

This is why we recommend customers to keep a minimum of 150 dpi resolution when they submit their digital files, and aim for 300 dpi for best results. Please read the File Setup Guide on Online Poster Printing’s FAQ page for more information.

Extremely Convenient

Purchasing all the materials for traditional painting can be a hassle. Spending money for paint, brushes, canvases, and other equipment can be quite costly. Even more so if you make a mistake.

At Online Poster Printing, we make sure your canvas prints come out perfect. Just upload your design, enter your specifications, and we’ll do the rest of the work for you.

Giclée Printing 101

The Basics

Pronounced as “zhee-clay,” giclée is the process of making fine art prints from a digital file using inkjet printers. The term comes from a French word that means “to spray”.

Artists use giclée printing to duplicate their original paintings. They can also reproduce photographs or computer generated art from digital files to canvas prints. Printing digitally allows artists to modify all aspects of their giclée canvas prints, from custom sizes to finer design details.

Introducing the Photo Canvas

The photo canvas print is fast becoming one of Online Poster Printing’s most popular products. We are very happy with the popularity of our canvas prints and want to share it with more people. In this post, we will take a closer look at the photo canvas product. Learn about gallery wrapping, canvas printing and product detail.

Our >photo canvas is printed on a textured artist canvas combining an element of old world art with new digital art. The combination makes for a unique presentation that easily matches with both a modern or traditional interior design theme.

Notice the fine detail of the image is complimented by the textured material. It is also possible to create painting-like prints using photo editing software. The photo canvas allows you to create artwork in whichever style you wish.

Our photo canvas is also offered in a gallery wrap finish. If you choose the gallery wrap finish, our Printing Pro will coat your photo canvas with a protective satin finish and stretch it over a gallery wrap frame that is constructed from durable 3/4″ in. stretcher bars.

The final product is a beautiful canvas displaying your photo on the wall. A photo canvas is perfect for wedding photos, family portraits and artistic photography.
