Photobloc Blog – Canvas Prints

Archive for the ‘Canvas Prints’ Category

Stone has been quarried, carved, shaped and built with all over this island for thousands of years, each area has its own distinctive colour and texture.

When you look at an old stone structure the weathering and local conditions further change its appearance.

As I travel around the land I am always fascinated by these ever changing facades, Farm Buildings, Castles, Stately homes and humble dwellings are but a few, industrial architecture and transport engineering such as bridges, viaducts and canal locks are others.

Stone, the very bones of the earth, ripped out and utilised by man in many structural forms are without doubt a natural art-form in thier own right.

With the technological advance of digital photography we can capture these amazing artworks for posterity and our own continuous enjoyment at home by creating canvas prints from them.

So whether it is lichen covered standing stones of antiquity, massive carved frontages to eclisiastical buildings or moss strewn dry-stone walls of the countryside, the bones of the earth when captured and printed on canvas form a wonderfull collection of art for us all to enjoy.

In this hurly-burly, rush filled age we are often stressed by the pace of life, but the weekend is almost upon us and at last a time to relax and unwind.

Take some time out this weekend and marvel at the ever changing clouds above, the artist’s pallet of nature busily at work each day and generally unheeded by ourselves.

The ever changing colours, shapes and textures of scudding clouds have inspired artist and poets alike for centuries.

But in this fast-paced, breakneck world we overlook such beauty when all the time our minds are crying out for rest and rejuvenation, take a little time out this weekend to sit and enjoy the limitless expression of nature and if this lightens your mind then capture the drama un-folding before your eyes with your camera and we will print on canvas such scenes so that you may marvel at thier complexities and beauty all week through.

For with your mind refreshed you can face another week of work, safe in the knowledge that the world around you is still unfolding its rich tapestry above, just waiting for us to look up and behold.

Summer is here with a will, long sultry days, warm listless evenings and balmy weekends.

So what will you do with the good weather?

Barbecues and gaden parties, trips out with friends or family, sporting pleasures and relaxing pleasures; they are all there for the taking.

But don’t forget to record them with your camera and then we can turn them into canvas prints for you to keep and treasure always.

Printing on canvas has never been easier, just follow the simple on-screen instructions and we will do the rest.

So with another Bank Holiday upon us and a change for the better in the weather what will we do?

There is so much to choose from out there that we are almost lost for choice!

So what will you do, visit friends or family, trek to the City for a show, the Coast for some relaxation or the Country to get away from it all. You could web search for events in your area or simply stay at home and enjoy a peaceful barbecue.

Whatever you decide to do with your Bank Holiday remember to take your camera and record the fun so we can print on canvas your memories.

The weekends are after all for living, visiting friends and relaxing. They form some of our greatest memories so why not capture them as Canvas Prints.

It doesn’t matter where you are or what you are doing just take the camera along and snap away as you have fun.

The British Isles are blessed with great countryside, quaint lttle villages, majestic old towns and impossing ruins, so enjoy some of them this weekend.

After a long, cold Winter and a fitfull Spring, Summer is finally here.

With Summer comes all thoses days out, kids in the pool, picnics in the country side and walks along leafy lanes, but don’t let them become faded memories when they could all be gracing your home as photos onto canvas, so get clicking and we can preserve them for you with a stunning range of canvas prints.

With spot colour, we can change your photo to black and white and then return a part of it back to colour before we print on canvas. It is as simple as that, a classic black and white wedding photo to canvas but with the button hole and bouquet in colour!

Or for a taste of those atmospheric photos of yesteryear?
Have your family photos or views transformed into stunning sepia canvas prints.
We can convert your images on-screen to give a “old Style” look by producing sepia canvas photos. It is simple, just place your order as normal and request sepia as a special effect and we will do the rest.

Why not capture your garden or local viewpoint as the changing seasons unfold and then have them made into canvas prints.

Set yourself the target of capturing the same view at different times of the year and get a print on canvas of each, or better still save them up and create your own Multi-panel with them.

Either a large photo canvas as the centre piece or a series of smaller photos onto canvas arrayed across the wall is a great way of bringing the outside into your home.

What ever the view or its season, capture that treasured moment as a canvas print and open up your home to the changing seasons.

Our range of canvas printing is extensive, each photo canvas being reproduced at the size you select.

Once we have put your photos onto canvas they are stretched over solid wooden frames with front and back boards in place thus creating a stunning canvas print which won’t sag.

The use of digital cameras is growing but what do we use the images for.

Many with thier first digital camera will set it on maximum images and snap away, happy that they don’t have to download for ages! Unfortunately the results are not always usable as anything but snapshots, whereas if you set the camera to high resolution in stead, whilst not being able to store as many images before downloading they will be printable at much bigger sizes.

When saving them to your desktop, save as a jpeg but set it at the highest file size as this will allow it to expand back to full resolution when opened.

Now you are ready to use these images in so many ways, such as ordering a canvas print or producing a large family portrait as a print on canvas.
