When it comes to creating a home gallery wall, canvas prints are one of the most versatile options available. Unlike other print methods, which tend to look better with certain types of photography, canvas looks great with nearly any kind of image. That said, close-ups and portraits tend to look especially stunning on canvas, while nature photography and landscapes also lend themselves beautifully to the medium.

How do I make a canvas print?

When selecting photos to turn into canvas prints, it’s important to consider the subject matter and the quality of the original photograph. Large canvas prints from digital photos should be high-quality and have a good resolution for printing, which can be determined by the camera type and model. For example, digital single-lens reflex (DLSR) cameras and smartphones have a wide range of camera settings that can be adjusted to achieve a high resolution.

Using a photo editing program, you can adjust the brightness and contrast of your image to create the best results. Additionally, you should choose a subject matter that really speaks to you. Whether it’s a family vacation snapshot, a favorite scenic picture, or a motivational quote, a personalized photo canvas is an easy way to turn your favorite images into art.

When choosing a large canvas print, it’s important to consider where the print will be displayed. A photo canvas can be hung on a wall, placed in a frame, or stacked with other printed materials as part of a gallery wall. For the latter, you may want to consider incorporating different styles of prints, from traditional paper prints to framed digital photographs.
