Buying quality canvas art over the internet can seem like a daunting experience at first. Have a read of the following 10 tips to help guide you through the experience:
1. Allocate an hour for your initial search, open up google and search for generic terms like ‘canvas art' , ‘canvas pictures' and ‘wall art'. You'll get lots of results for you to browse, we always recommend that you avoid the paid for results and go for the ones that rank google highly. These sites have been around a long time and thus you can trust them as safe bets.
2. Look out for the ranges of canvas art stocked by the sites you find. Have in mind an artistic area of interest so you can narrow your search on the actual sites. Look for retro canvas pictures if you want something cool and modern.
3. Once you have narrowed your search to a few stores and canvases then look out for quality guidelines. If you cant find examples of quality then the canvas art gallery probably sells inferior product.
4. Look at the material used for the stretched canvas, it should be a high grade GSM of cotton. Avoid poly canvas, a plastic alternative that's not easy on the eye and tends not to last many years.
5. Examine the material used for the frame. Ideally it should be quite thick to give that three dimensional look on your walls. Around 4cm deep canvas is the industry standard. Don't worry too much about the material used for the canvas frame, as long as its reinforced you'll be fine.
6. Choose a canvas art prints with a low print run and by an actual artist if possible. Lots of canvas art galleries sell cheap stock photography that you can buy by the thousand. This lack of exclusivity renders your canvas artwork worthless as soon as you have hung it on your wall.
7. Next check the delivery schedules. Many canvas art stores will have upto a 14 day delivery schedule. We find this criminal in reality, if you cant deliver a product within 3 days of purchase then you really shouldn't be in the canvas print business!
8. Check how the canvas art picture you like will be delivered, make sure it will be adequately packaged with protective boxes as part of the overall price of the wall canvas.
9. Buy your canvas art print! Make sure the site is protected and secure in the usual way, https on the checkout pages.
10. Sit back and relax, make sure you clear your walls and make some space for your canvas artwork. A nail in the wall is all you'll need to do!
