Canvas Print Guide — Buying, Caring & Hanging Canvas Wall Art
Canvas Print Guide — Buying, Caring & Hanging Canvas Wall Art
Canvas prints are the workhorse of the Salt & Sol catalogue. They're light, they don't need glass, they handle the slightly less controlled humidity of Australian beach homes better than a framed paper print, and they give a softer, more textural finish than acrylic or metal. The trade-off is that not every image suits canvas — high-contrast black-and-white photography sometimes prefers a framed paper print, and very fine-detail botanical illustration can lose a touch on a heavily textured weave.
The articles below help you make that call. There's a first-time-buyer guide for people who've never invested in a 120 cm or 150 cm piece before, a no-fluff pigment explainer for why some prints glow at sunset while others look muddy, and a renters' guide covering hanging strips, brick walls and plasterboard. Every canvas in the Salt & Sol range is printed locally, gallery-wrapped over Australian pine, and ships nationwide from our Noosaville and Booragoon studios.
