Specification Paintings Canvas

1. MATERIAL. The word canvas (canvas) has Latin origins and means "made of hemp." Nowadays, in addition to hemp and linen, cotton is also used to make canvas, and with the development of technology, synthetics are also used.

2. IMAGE . Produced by direct printing onto canvas . This method of inkjet printing onto canvas is sometimes called “Giclee”.
The canvases have a textured surface and this makes the colors appear more saturated, more vibrant, more interesting.
The inks are environmentally friendly , harmless , long-lasting and do not fade over time.

3. SUBFRAME . The picture printed on canvas is stretched on wooden frames , also called subframes. The thickness of the subframe is 20 mm (2 cm)

Our subframes are made of natural wood – most often spruce. The wood is treated and dried so that it does not deform over time.
The tensioning is extremely precise to achieve a museum-quality look. Important!
The quality of our paintings is that the canvas does not relax .
Important! We DO NOT use materials such as PVC, MDF, chipboard and any other similar substitutes.

You will often come across the term 3D paintings or 3D paintings or 3D panels .
Is the image of these "3D paintings" three-dimensional?
No, the image itself is not three-dimensional. The sense of volume comes solely from the thickness of the painting itself.

4. MOUNTING . You receive the paintings ready to hang.

	On the back there is a classic picture hanger, one or two depending on the horizontal size. A single nail or dowel with a screw is enough.

Important! If you get tired of it or decide to move the painting to another wall, the traces are negligible.
Don't be fooled by the fact that double-sided tape doesn't leave any damage on the walls. This is not PVC foil.
During repairs, the surface layer of paint and even the plaster will peel off along with the tape.

5. SIDE BOARD. When stretched, the canvas wraps around the frame and the side board remains visible. The ways to complete the composition are hemmed, mirrored, stretched, white or black. We decide which is most suitable for completing the specific composition. The explanations below are for your information only and for cases in which you have any special requirements, for which you should call us.

	• Hemmed edge Part of the image also extends over the frame. For cases where there are no important elements near the edge.
	• Mirror edge The image is visible in its entirety, and the outermost 20 mm are copied, flipped, and used as the outer edge of the frame.
	• Stretched edge The image is visible in its entirety, and the outermost 20 mm are stretched. An interesting effect of spreading and movement.
	• White edge The image is visible in its entirety. The visible edge remains white. In some cases, this effect enhances the picture beautifully.
	• Black edge Similar to white edges, but the visible edge remains black. Provides a distinct outline and adds compelling contrast.
	• Additional frame The side edge remains invisible. We do not offer such a service , but it is easily accessible, there are framing studios everywhere.

6. CLEANING AND CARE . Canvas paintings are considered very durable, but they still require care.
• Do not expose the canvas to direct sunlight for a long time because the colors may fade. Of course, nothing will happen to it if it is exposed to the sun for a while. The important thing is that the place of the painting is not constantly illuminated by the sun.
• Wipe off dust with a dry cloth and/or feathers. Canvas is usually water-resistant, but we strongly recommend that you do not use water to clean it. If you happen to spill water on a canvas painting, it is better to soak it up immediately.
• Do not place the panel in a place with sudden changes in temperature and/or humidity. The canvas may be damaged or stretched.
• Clean the canvas delicately to avoid stretching it and causing dents.
• Can they be cleaned if they are scratched with a chemical or felt-tip pen by children? Unfortunately, the canvas is a tightly woven canvas made of cotton or linen fibers. Although it has undergone technological processing for strength, the material still has the property of absorbing chemical dyes, which will make it extremely difficult to completely remove traces of them. We recommend that you hang such a picture on a wall that your child does not have direct access to.
