Choosing Your Ideal Canvas Pictures

An increasing number of homes, entertainment and business spaces are redecorating and choosing to mount canvas pictures onto their wall space. Previously framed printed paper or flat canvas material was used as opposed to today’s protruding 3 dimensional artwork pieces.

Canvas pictures bring new life to any living space and with today’s technology anything from a personal photograph to a child’s drawing to a reproduced old masterpiece can be printed onto canvas and mounted onto a box wooden frame to virtually any size you desire.

Below are a few tips to consider when choosing your canvas art. Decide what wall or walls you want your canvas pictures. Bear in mind the colours you already have in the room, what type or style of furniture already exists in the space and also the size of pictures that will be suitable for the size of the room. A series of canvas prints hung together maybe a better proposition than one huge piece. Another thing worth considering is the dominant colour of the canvas. For example, if your room is predominantly beige you may want a striking contrast of a deep red canvas picture, as opposed to a beige artwork which may get lost or overlooked as the room is already mostly beige. Or that maybe the desired effect and intention in the first place!

If your wish is for your chosen artwork to be a talking point for whoever visits your living space, perhaps an artwork which is split into 3 to 7 individual canvases is an option. Groups of different sized canvas or the same size can be hung on a wall in uniform or randomly. If uniformity is important a triptych canvas maybe a worth while option. A triptych canvas picture is where a picture is divided up into at least three separate
canvases and hung in uniform with spaces in between which collectively displays a whole image. The result is very striking and visually captivating and is very effective if you have a large wall to play with.

Overall, imagination is key. The possibilities are endless and whatever you decide it can be easily changed. Canvas pictures breaths new life into any space. It’s important to emphasise  that you can turn anything into a canvas print, even a very old photograph. Depending on the canvas dealer you choose they should have the facilities for you to send in your photograph and they will ‘scan’ the picture into their computer which then can be digitally enhanced, repaired or recoloured then printed onto high quality canvas.

A good canvas art company should be able to tell you about their materials and the printer’s they use to make their canvas pictures. Ask them if they use dye pigment inks which tend to hold vibrancy and colour much longer than ordinary inks. Also some like HP vivera inks have a 75 year anti fade guarantee. Also ask them if they can transform old photos or digital ones onto canvas. If they know what they are doing, they should also be able to offer enhancement services like; making a colour print black and white or sepia. They should also be able to digitally correct anything on the original image you do not want seen on your canvas pictures.

Top Tips For Looking After Your Canvas Pictures

So you have bought some lovely canvas pictures to adorn your living or work space. Now how do you keep these same pictures as vibrant and colourful as the day you purchased them.
Here are some top tips to keep your lovely artwork in pristine condition

Ok, the following advice is based on the assumption that you will be hanging your pictures onto a wall or at least dispaying them in some fashion. Why we state this is because the best way to avoid fading of your artwork is not to display them, but to store them in a cool, dark area, preferably covered or wrapped loosly with a light linen material. However this guide explains the best way to keep your artwork on display in tip top condition.

Firstly, the biggest threat to your canvas pictures will definitely be any light source, like sunlight through windows or artificial light from light bulbs etc. Any source of light breaks down the canvas material which affects the inks upon it. This causes discolouration and a brittleness to the material. Therefore it is best to keep as much direct sunlight from your canvas pictures as possible. Avoid hanging artwork directly opposite windows were a great source of sunlight will be coming in from. Also when using artifical lighting make sure that it is as soft as possible around your artowork.

Another threat to your canvas pictures is air humidity. A damp room where humidity is high creates mold and mildew. This will greatly distroy your canvas art so monitor your room humidity and keep it as low as possible. You can regulate room humidity by regularly opening up windows and vents, making sure there is fresh airflow coming into the room consistently, as moisture accumulates when there is a lack of fresh air in circulation. You can also purchase a humidity monitor from most good DIY retailers. This will eliminate any doubt surrounding room humidity.

Finally, your canvas pictures are fragile and you should always treat them as such, especially when dusting. It goes without saying to avoid using a heavy cloth to wipe any debris away. Also if you have to make contact with the actual canvas, please use a clean, lint free and dry cloth. The best thing to use would be a professional duster made of natural fibres such as feathers.
Never use any chemicals or even water to clean the surface of the canvas. This will smudge the print, even if it is protected by a laminate sealant.

In conclusion these tips will prolong the life of your canvas pictures and will keep your art looking as vibrant and as colourful as the day you hung them up!
