The Canvas Print

The canvas print really is a unique item. While canvas has been used for centuries to display paintings and other artwork, and canvas prints have been used in the photography world to show off professional photos, it has recently become the material of choice for many people looking to print their own digital photos. Canvas prints can be used as a great looking and convenient alternative to hanging framed photos and their versatility is such that virtually any photo or picture can be given a similar range of excellent treatments.

Colour To Black And White Or Sepia

Colour photos do look very effective when printed on canvas, because the natural texture of the fibres gives the picture a more lifelike appearance. The photo reproduction is of a very high level. However, for a more artistic or even a more subtle look a colour photo can be converted into a black and white or a sepia image instead. If you're not confident of doing this yourself then use a printing service that offers this service.

Pop Art

At the other end of the colour scale, pop art prints are extremely colourful and very striking. They are a memorable way to print portraits or photos of couples. Various colour washes and other treatments are applied to your photo in order to create pictures that resemble the artwork of pop artists such as Banksy and Warhol. Especially effective with portraits, pop art prints are very popular as gift choices but also offer a fun way to display portraits of you and all of your family.

Montage Prints

Rather than choose a single picture, the photo montage print gives you the chance to combine many different photos into a single, beautiful picture. A montage is a real talking point and an ice breaker and while some of the most effective montages combine pictures of a similar subject or using similar colours, montages that break all of these rules can also look very effective. Bespoke canvas sizes help to ensure that a canvas can be created in such a size that you can fit almost any number of pictures into a single montage.

Triptych

Triptych displays are an unusual and artistic method of displaying pictures originally used in religious art and more recently adopted by artists and designers. A single photo or picture is broken down into three segments, and each segment is printed on its own canvas. While the triptych is the best known method of using multiple canvases, you can print a single picture to two, four, five or any number of canvases in order to create precisely the look that you want from your multiple canvas print.
