Photos to Canvas Prints for Christmas Presents

Photos to canvas prints make an ideal Christmas present for family and the chance to create customised canvas prints should not be overlooked when trying to think of a present for that ‘hard to buy for’ relative. The photo you choose to have printed on canvas can be of virtually anything, a family portrait, a favourite holiday snap, or perhaps a special occasion that you celebrated during the previous year, such as a birthday party. Alternatively if you know a couple that celebrated their ‘special day’ during 2011, then why not transform their memories into a long-lasting canvas print, that will be around for as long as the marriage. The inks used in transferring your photos to canvas are guaranteed by manufacturers for 75 years.

The era of digital photography means that there are so many photos to choose from and selecting the perfect photos to transfer to canvas can be difficult. Following a few basic photography rules will help to narrow down the choice and then it is simply personal taste. You can always ask a friend’s opinion, just in case you want to double-check. The easiest things to check for before choosing the final photo are to make sure everybody’s eyes are open and nobody’s head will be ‘chopped off, there is a ‘bleed’ to consider if you want your canvas to have a gallery wrap. Don’t worry too much about colour issues, or red-eye, these can be dealt with by the canvas printing company, just ask them to make any colour adjustments before printing your photos to canvas.

Online Art Marketplace ArtByUs.com Celebrates One-Year Anniversary with the Launch of a new Art Blog










Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) March 14, 2005

ArtByUs.com (http://www.artbyus.com), the online marketplace for contemporary, fine art by independent artists, artisans, and fine art galleries celebrates their one-year anniversary with the launch of a new ArtByUs.com Art Blog.

The new ArtByUs.com Art Blog is designed to provide its readers and participants the latest art news and personal posts from the artists on ArtByUs.com. Users will be able to contribute to this new art blog to announce their art news, shows, call for artists, and art marketing tips.

“When we opened ArtByUs.com in March of 2004, our main objective was to create an affordable art marketplace, that is easy to use and that avoids being a selling platform for mass produced artwork”, says Conni Tögel, CEO and founder of the ArtByUs LLC.

Tögel adds: “With over 1500 registered artists, ArtByUs.com creates the bridge between nationally and internationally recognized artists, artisans, photographers, fine art galleries, architects, interior designers, and art collectors. While other auction sites charge the artist community high listing and commission fees, ArtByUs.com offers a free distribution model to the artists.”

To kick off the ArtByUs.com Art Blog, Conni Tögel will give away autographed Signature Fine Art Prints of her own work to ten lucky winners. For a chance to win, users just need to submit art news to the ArtByUs.com Art Blog.

ArtByUs.com can be reached at http://www.artbyus.com
