What is the best picture resolution for your canvas art?
When it comes to canvas art designed for your home décor, it’s essential to take note of the resolution of your imagery. When you want a large canvas placed anywhere in your home, for it to have the impact you want when people enter the room, the image needs to be sharp and of high quality. The pixels will determine the overall quality of your canvas art, so if you’d like a large canvas, make sure your images have a resolution of at least 13.2 megapixels. For canvas that are of a smaller size, you can have a lower resolution when choosing your pictures. For example, you would need to ensure your image is at 3.7 megapixels if the canvas is smaller. Using this guide, you can get canvas art that will add to your home’s décor with optimum effect.

How to maintain your canvas art or canvas print?
Once you have received your canvas art or canvas print, you might find it to be a very delicate piece of décor. There are many ways in which it can get damaged, and many people don’t know how you can preserve this piece of décor for many years to come. Here are some ways to maintain your canvas art to keep it looking fresh and beautiful:
Clean your painting weekly.
Keep your canvas print or art looking bright and fresh by gently dusting any dirt off the surface of your art with a silky, dry cloth.
Try to keep your canvas out of direct sunlight.
The reasoning is that if your canvas is in direct sunlight, the colours on the canvas art or canvas print will gradually fade over time. This is just a preventative measure to maintain the look and feel of your canvas for a longer period of time, but don’t be surprised if the colours in your canvas change slightly over time, as this is totally normal.
Avoid areas with moisture when setting up your canvas art.
To avoid mould or moisture being soaked into your canvas, set or store your canvas in a dry place. Essentially any extreme temperature can harm the integrity of the canvas so consider this when you set up or store your canvas.
Don’t use chemical cleaners on you canvas art.
Though some products claim to be suitable for cleaning canvas art or canvas prints, it’s best to avoid using any chemical cleaners. As stated previously, a soft cloth or feather duster is good enough when cleaning your canvas. This way, you can avoid any chance of damaging your canvas in the process.
