The reproduction of old master painting in paper seems to be lifeless and lacks in texture , while the original is painted directly onto canvas, which has a beautiful nature texture visible to the eye. Canvas also brings out the best pigments in the painting.
Canvas printing involves a lot of laborious and delicate work, and it's best to delegate the job to true professionals in the business who will do the job with care and skill won from years of experience. Canvas printing truly offers the human touch. It has to be worked on by hand, to stretch, seal and frame the material.

There are two essential things in every painting:
• Negative space: This is the background and the foreground area around the subject matter.
• Positive space: This is the subject matter itself.
The negative space is often ignored in a painting, but if the two were given equal attention, the composition would look more balanced and pleasing to the eye.
When it comes to arranging the objects, it is a good idea to be aware of the negative space. Consider if it as having shapes as much as the objects. Negative shapes are the outlines of the background and foreground between the objects.

We know that all over the world, people generally like original work, for example, an original painting will be admired closely by those who are interested and highly motivated in this area of work.
The World Famous Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo da Vinci, is still fascinating to this day, due to the "original" personal creativity that people love.And people still admire this creative work with curiosity even after Leonardo's death in the year 1519.
The same would apply to original work such as President Obama’s famous Speech in 2004 in Boston, Massachusetts, well before he was elected or any other work that is purely original.

One of the main thing to keep in mind when you start painting as a new hobby is that if you are used to drawing with pencil or other medium, the paintbrush is an entirely different tool to get used to.
In Canvas Painting, There are many types including canvas boards, rolled canvas, stretched canvas and canvas mats. Try using them all over time and decide on your favorite and use it.
Once you have chosen your brush and canvas, you will need to decide on the type of paint that you want to use. Oil paints are slow drying and may be good for art pieces that you plan on doing over a period of time. Oil paint can easily be rejuvenated using things like paint thinner and turpentine.
Remember that art is about Practicing. Have fun with mixing paint colors and seeing what you can come up with. Use different sizes and types of canvases, different sized brushes and different types of paints.
