Canvas paintings involve an artist painting directly onto a plain canvas, canvas prints however involve the process of uploading and printing digital art and photography onto a canvas using inkjet printers. Once the Canvas is printed it is then stretched onto a plain frame, here the image will wrap around the sides helping to create the classic canvas look.
Canvas fabric is a strong and durable fabric thanks to the tiny microfibres it has seemed throughout it. Traditionally canvas prints have been made of hemp, however, in the modern-day we canvas prints are seen to be made out of cotton and linen to help increase the exactness of the colour of canvas prints. This change of fabric helps bring the standard canvas print as close to museum quality as possible while keeping the prices affordable, helping to turn your walls into works of art.
