Using Landscape Art For Your Hallway

Fri, 02/10/2012 - 7:38AM by fotoviva 0 Comments - 2 Views

Landscape photography is an ideal way to spruce up your home walls, bringing with it the spirit of nature into your home. There are many fantastic landscape photographers around that produce images of the highest quality. These can be bought online from many galleries and the range is massive.

One of the best ways to buy a landscape image is printed on canvas. Nice and big! Canvas art is one of the most appealing forms of wall art around today and many people buy them for interior design of their home or even their office space. Canvases are lightweight and easy to hang - simply attach a screw or nail in your wall and hang it on!

Using a piece of canvas art in your hallway is a great way to create a natural flow into you home. Visitors will see a landscape scene and will automatically feel happy and relaxed in your home. They may not realise it but they will feel it. Nature has a certain way of capturing out hearts and emotions. Just think how you feel when you view a lovely forest photograph, or a scene of rolling hills. Sunsets across green landscapes are a particular favourite with interior designers and these create an ambience that will work wonders when people enter your hall. Have the landscape canvas hanging where it won't be missed and where it can have an effect. A great place to hang a canvas is above the shoe or coat rack. This way visitors, and yourself, will notice it every time you enter.

Make sure the canvas print of the landscape is not directly in sunlight by a window. Prints on canvas are done using fade resistant uv inks but you may find over a few years the colours will drop if the canvas is left in heavy sunlight. Here in the UK this will not be a problem though! Our climate is more often than not a dull and wet one, unlike the sunny climes of Italy or Spain.

As an alternative to a landscape print on canvas you could also look at other types of nature pictures on canvas. How about a floral print of a delicate poppy or bluebell? These gentle images will calm people down when they've had a bad day at work, instilling a cheerful mind. It really is amazing how art can influence your emotions. This has been recorded throughout the years and is why many corporate businesses include so many pieces of artwork in their lobbies and office rooms. It helps to calm your nerves and makes you feel like you are outside with Mother nature instead of slaving away at work.

Framed prints are more expensive than canvas art and need a stronger fixing, especially if the picture frame is covered by real glass. These picture are very heavy compared to canvas artwork so bear this in mind when deciding on which wall print to buy for your hallway.

Canvas Prints for Photographers

Sat, 07/10/2010 - 8:20AM by fotoviva 0 Comments - 3 Views

Photographers are always looking to market their artwork in new ways that will help increase sales and revenue. Canvas prints are an ideal way to sell photographic art as it is such a vibrant and eye catching printing method, not to mention ready to hang. Canvases are printed onto high quality 100% cotton canvas material using sophisticated printers that help capture a large tonal range and fine-point detail in the picture. The canvas is then wrapped around a strong wooden frame, known as stretcher bars, and finished off with professional tape. A fixing bracket is attached and a UV varnish applied to the canvas to ensure it is protected for many years. The printing ink is light resistant for more than 75 years, ensuring the canvas art is going to last.

There are many canvas printing companies around the UK but Fotoviva Art Prints are used by many photographers because they know photographers demand the highest quality print and finish. Coming from a photography background, the owners appreciate that if you are going to sell your work as canvas prints or acrylic mounts, high quality materials, workmanship and attention to detail are a must. Sending a customer a below-par print will not bring repeat business or help reputation.

Sometimes customers require canvases printed in non-standard sizes and Fotoviva can cater for any specification to suit the client’s wall size. Custom frames can be made to ensure the photographic print will match the room. It can make a visual difference if the wall space is too large or small for the size of the canvas print. All the canvases are made here in the UK by a team of skilled craftsmen who understand that a strict quality control means that photographers will be confident in the finished article and, more importantly, their customers will spread the word about the photographers work, helping to generate more sales in the future.

Many photographers have galleries online and in small towns where they sell their work. Some galleries buy canvases in bulk to have on display in their shops. This is more cost effective as trade discounts can be offered for bulk orders, saving cost and reducing the price of the photos on canvas prints the photographer can sell. This can make all the difference to a potential sale as customers are used to seeing canvases in high street shops for very little cost. What they don't factor in is that photographer’s prints are usually limited editions and therefore you pay a slight premium for.

Wall Art for Interior Designers

Sat, 07/10/2010 - 8:15AM by fotoviva 0 Comments - 3 Views

Interior design can turn a bland room into something almost magical with a combination of colour scheme, furniture, accessories and wall art. Paying an interior designer to decorate your home will transform it into something your friends will talk about for some time. Interior designers use many types of wall art to help bring the walls to life, from paintings and posters to photos on canvas and acrylic styled artwork. It really depends on the type of house and its owners as to what wall art works best for a particular property.

Some designers may use acrylic prints (also known as Perspex prints) that would compliment a contemporary interior design, thanks to the flame polished edges and high gloss finish they offer. Acrylic prints are almost 3D in nature thanks to the 5mm acrylic sheet which reflects the printed image around the edges. It's a very striking way to display a picture and interior designers are enjoying the brightness these prints bring to any room they hang in.

In another interior project canvas prints may be more suitable. Not as modern looking as the acrylics, canvases suit homes that are decorated in the normal sense. Thanks to the technology of today's high-end printers, the giclee printed image still looks stunning on the cotton canvas material and the inks used ensure a gallery quality 75 year light fastness. That means that the canvas art may well be around long after you have gone!

Finding suitable artwork for the walls of homes or businesses can be a struggle for interior designers but help is at hand with the many online gallery-type art stores available today at the click of a mouse. One such gallery is Fotoviva Art Prints that offers a collection of over 500 high-end photographic prints. These have all been professionally taken and hand-picked for their artistic and inspirational nature. Designers can choose to buy each picture as a canvas print, acrylic print or a straight poster, meaning the image can be printed in a way to suit the particular room design. Not only this, but bespoke sizes can be custom printed to suit.

One final feature interior designers have in their arsenal is the triptych canvas print. This is where the image is split between 3 canvas frames for added punch. Especially suitable for landscape or modern art images, these triptychs bring a wall to life like no other printing medium can. If you have seen a three panel canvas art hanging on a wall you will know how eye-catching they can be.
