As a decor medium, canvas has been around for centuries. It became the favorite painting surface for classic oil painters in the 1600’s and remains a go-to today, even as frame styles evolve and aluminum and acrylic face-mounted prints become more popular. However, it’s important to understand how to choose the right canvas size for your wall art. If your image is too small, it will look squished or overwhelmed in its frame, while a canvas that’s too large can overpower the space.

Why is canvas so expensive?

There are many different sizes of canvas wall art large to help you create the perfect display in your home. The most common standard canvas sizes include 10×10, 16×20, and 20×30. These are portrait ready and work well with either a single photo or in a gallery wall arrangement.

Other popular options for canvas wall art are landscapes and maps, as well as inspirational quotes or images of your children. Families with photogenic pets often prefer to display photos of their furry best friends on canvas.

Another great option for showcasing your favorite pictures on canvas is to add a texture finish. This gives the print a bumpy texture that mimics brush strokes and adds depth to your photos. While it might not be practical for every client, a textured finish can be an excellent way to elevate your custom art prints to a more artistic level.
