We love our client’s photos, almost as much as they love our canvas! And we love when they send us photos of our canvas on their walls. Here’s a testimonial from Barbara about her photos of doorways in Italy that we printed for her on canvas:”Just reporting that I am quite pleased with my canvas pieces. They represent a recent trip to Italy and are a few of my favorites from a series pictures of Italian entrances. I appreciated the ability to frame these on-line and the prompt service.Thanks,Barb”!
When you have a canvas made from Canvas Press, you receive a high quality Giclee print of your photograph or artwork. This is a great way to decorate your home and in these tough economic times where nothing is certain, it can be a huge cost savings to get art on your walls that looks great. A new customer of ours in Georgia has started doing this now, here is what he had to say:
I just received my canvas print this morning which was shipped to my place of work. I did not open it at work but was so excited about it that I took it home during lunch to hang it.WOW! I was very surprised and impressed at the quality of the print! I was a little concerned because this was my first Canvas Print and the dpi on the on-line template was not the highest but was above the minimum where you will guarantee the quality. I was not sure if I would see any pixelation or not.The size of the print is 44×26 so it is a fairly large print.It more than met my expectations!
The quality is excellent and looks very professional.The packaging was superb and very professional as well.Very easy to hang with the supplied hardware.
I wanted something new for above my settee in my foyer and started looking around for some art in galleries such as limited edition Giclee’s but they were all more than I wanted to spend right now with the economy. So, I decided to use one of my own photographs to help bring some color into the space.I’ve been into photography for about 20 years as a hobby and this particular photograph is from the garden on Victoria Island, British Columbia right off of coast of Vancouver. I liked the color and the way the out-of-focus red geraniums gave it a slight impressionistic feel and made it look like a piece of art.
Now I have a piece of my own “art” on my wall in lieu of spending more than a thousand dollars on someone else’s Giclee.
I look forward to working with you again in the future.
We are really enjoying our Canvas Press photos on canvas in our new dental office. Everyone comments on them and we have referred many to your website. Here are a few photos to show how beautiful the canvases look.
Just wanted to say your team was incredibly helpful in creating an unbelievable ‘experience’ for my grandmother for her 95th birthday. You were able to take “then and now” pics and translate them onto two separate canvases in an incredibly elegant and impactful way. We made the 2 canvases the centerpiece at the big Bday party…Needless to say “NaNa” was deeply touched. Thanks again.
Warm Regards,

While we love our canvases, something tells me the centerpiece of that party could have only been NaNa! Canvas Press is honored to contribute to the celebration of such a special event. Thank you for your testimonial Jed.
A Michigan Art Director sent his agency’s take on Canvas Press:
I am an art director at an ad agency in Michigan. We decided to take our mission, vision and values and lay them out with some typographical styles. When decided on printing we explored several vendors and products, but we’re so happy we chose Canvas Press. The artwork turned out beautifully and the gallery wraps look amazing in our office in the creative neighborhood we work in. Thank you so much for such an amazing product. We’ve already ordered another canvas and plan to work with Canvas Press in the future.Best,
Aaron
We received the following email from a recent customer:
Dear Canvas Press staff,
I wanted you to know how much I loved my completed canvas. The subject of my canvas is my dog, Max. I lost Max to cancer on March 30, 2009. He had been my faithful companion for 15 years. I wanted a fitting tribute to him, and his finished canvas certainly fit the bill. I am just thrilled with the outcome. When I look at the canvas, Max looks so much like I remember him, it seems he could jump out to me. I placed his canvas in the center of the mantle over the fireplace, so that I can look at him every day.
You all were great to work with and very patient with me. Thank you for an outstanding job.
There is a lot to do when getting ready for a new baby, and one of the most daunting tasks can be putting the nursery together. A customer in Houston, TX is putting the finishing touches on the nursery for her baby girl, due in June. Above the crib are two 14×11 gallery wrap canvases, pictures of the soon-to-be Mommy and Daddy when they were adorable little kids. Pink and blue boxes painted on the wall enlarge the pieces and tie them into the style of the rest of the room.
The rest of the nursery is filled with special toys and items both new and old, making this a very meaningful and happy place for the new little girl.
Our OilWorks enhancement is the option to have an artist digitally paint your image to give it the look of an oil painting instead of a photograph. The True Artist option is $79 and an artist adds brush strokes and embellishments to the entire image by hand before we print it onto the canvas. The Master Artist option is $249 (a new reduced price!) and our artist creates a new masterpiece painting out of the image. For all Master Artist pieces, the artist doing the work has a consultation with the customer regarding their desires for the finished piece. After all the digital work has been completed a proof is sent over for approval. Once the canvas has been printed and stretched the artist then takes a clear embellishing gel and paints on top of the canvas to give it real brush strokes and texture.
Customers often ask what is the difference between these options to warrant such a large price jump. With a Master Artist OilWorks you truly get a one-of-a-kind piece of art that is inspired by your original image. Here are images of our most recent Master canvas, with the original photo taken in a Parisian park by Terry from Seattle and the OilWorks artwork was done by Renee Auguste.
Diane, a local customer, brought in an antique family photo. The picture is the only remaining image of her great grandfather’s family and was in poor condition. Over the years it had faded and cracked, there were spots missing from the image and even ball point pen doodles all over, probably from a little child getting a hold of it at one time. We were able to scan and restore the photo and print a 14×11 canvas. Diane now has a copy that will last much longer than the original did, and since it is a digital copy all of the family members can have one too. Here are the before and after images.
If you have a photo in need of restoration or retouching please contact us for a consultation. Restoration work is charged at an hourly rate.
