Canvas Prints make fantastic Christmas presents!

Still agonizing over what to get for unusual Christmas presents this year? Well, look no further! Canvas prints make really fantastic presents that are slightly different and a bit more personal for all your family and friends.

Canvas prints have now become the most popular form of artwork to decorate your home and put some colour on those blank walls. You can so easily transform the look of your room without completely redecorating – alter the colour or theme just by changing the tired looking pictures and replacing them with eye-catching and vibrant canvas prints.

So what are canvas prints?
Original oil paintings (on canvas) from the old masters have been around for centuries but this relatively new concept of printing on canvas using wide-format printers was really only introduced in the 1990s. With today's technology the quality of these canvas prints – known as ‘giclée prints’ is almost as good as the original oil painting. These printers use fade-resistant printer inks which mean that the canvas prints will last far longer than ordinary art prints but the greatest advantage is the ability to reproduce the original image in such detail regardless of size and maintain a high degree of accuracy in colour. Hence - canvas prints – an affordable way of putting colourful canvas artwork on your walls.

Where can you find them?
Online shopping is the best way forward but there are a huge number of companies now supplying canvas prints so who to choose? Many websites only offer ‘photos on canvas’ but there are a few digital printing companies that offer photographic gallery artwork as well.

CanvasRus is a well established online company who have been creating beautiful canvas prints for many years. They can put your own photos on canvas or create canvas prints from over 800 fantastic photographic images in their 20 themed galleries all available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. All their canvas prints are printed on the highest quality canvas and then stretched by hand onto 50mm solid wooden stretchers. All their canvas prints are fully laminated (completely free of charge – some companies charge for this service) enhancing the colours of the image and ensuring that the printed canvas has incredible durability.

Photos on Canvas
Or how about something more personal and memorable? Choose your own favourite photo and have it made into a fantastic canvas print. Everybody has one of those photos that gives you an ‘ahhh’ moment – well why hide it away? Imagine how your loved one will feel when they see that special memory - whether the kids, pets, or on holiday, or even your own wedding – captured for ever on canvas.

And it’s so easy to order! Just upload your digital photo to the website, choose your size and colour (choice of colour, B&W or sepia), pay online and hey presto, it’s done. Ordering takes only minutes, and delivery a few days – maybe a little longer during the Christmas period due to high demand!

But what if you simply have too many photos to choose from? Then order a Canvas Collage from CanvasRus. They have a unique online facility where you can upload all your photos and see your collage come alive on screen, so if you’re not happy with the way it looks, just choose another photo and upload a different one. There are 3 different layouts available each in 4 different sizes so again a wide range to choose from.

So don’t leave all those digital photos hibernating on your computer – start looking through them now and transform them into trendy Canvas Prints.
