Paintings on Canvas

Gallery quality canvas is 1.5″ thick, and finished with painted edges so that your painting extends past the edges. You will receive your painting wired and ready to hang! No framing necessary.

Paintings on canvas are done in either oil paint or acrylic. Oil paint is preferred for blending tones in facial features, however the acrylic painting process is more efficient, with easier cleanup and transit. Both mediums have great features to offer! Pricing below applies to either medium.

Oil Paintings

Are you patient and flexible with how long your masterpiece takes? Oil painting is a lovely traditional medium with slow drying time which affords more time for adjusting features, blending colors and smoothing skin. This classical style is expressive and showcases a very painterly style.

Acrylic Paintings

If you have a special occasion fast approaching to debut your custom art, acrylic painting may be the way to go! Acrylic paint offers flexibility and faster completion for quick deadlines. Acrylic paint dries and layers faster than oil painting and can offer a more illustrative, contemporary aesthetic.
