We hired Geetha to paint portraits of our guests at our wedding and she was absolutely fantastic. Geetha was a pleasure to work with, she had clear communication and was even happy to send us examples of what she can do before the day. She was organised, friendly and efficient and her sketches were just beautiful. Our guests were so happy to have these as a keepsake and we would highly reccommend Geetha for whatever event or job you might have. Xx Ruby

Reviews:

I reached out to Arielle earlier this year to complete a portrait of my grandfather to gift to my grandma and she replied within a couple of days. I didn't have any experience with personalised or commissioned art, but she was so kind and patient, making the whole process super easy and even included things in the painting that weren't in my reference photo. Arielle's communication was consistent, keeping me updated every step of the way. The finished product is beyond anything I could have ever imagined- she captured my grandfather perfectly and I'm so excited to be able to share this with my family. Thank you Arielle for helping me create my vision, your work is beautiful xx

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to have a canvas painted?

There is no exact number that can cover all Launceston canvas painters. Much like any freelance professional, an experienced artist may charge more than a beginner artist. The style and design of the artwork also comes into play. Smaller artworks can be commissioned for a few hundred dollars while larger works can cost thousands. We recommend messaging an artist directly with questions surrounding pricing and budget. Should the artist be unable to complete the project within your budget, we will help you find another artist for the job! Alternatively, some artists are willing to make changes to the design to fit your price range.

What is a painters canvas called?

A Launceston canvas artist may choose to paint their work on a canvas board. These wooden frames are then stretched with linen, polycotton or cotton. Linen is considered to be the more durable of the options, but is more costly. Artists can also paint on wooden canvases varying in size and shape. Painters usually either use acrylic or oil paint to complete their artwork.

Can I commission art as a gift?

Canvas art is the perfect birthday, Christmas or anniversary present. Nothing says ‘I love you’ or ‘I’m thinking about you’ quite like an artwork dedicated to a person. Book An Artist has helped connect customers with portrait artists, celebrity portrait artists and scenery artists.

Canvas art styles

Artists and their styles have continuously changed throughout history. Classic painting turned to impressionist paintings and industrial art had its peak before even more styles came into the picture.

A game changer for the art community was between the 1930's to 1960's. Mid century modern art was a time of social and cultural change. Artists began to experiment with new forms and break away from class painting and industrial art. This art style was characterised by its simple line art, black and white art, geometric shapes and particularly bold colours.

Creating art is a lot more accessible now which is why there is so much indie art. Independent artists, sketch artists and doodle artists often work outside of the mainstream art world and may have a unique or unconventional approach to their art and sketches.

Canvas painting medium

Canvas paintings can be created using a variety of mediums, each with their own unique characteristics and techniques. The most popular mediums are oil paint and acrylic paint. Oil painting is known for its rich, vibrant colors and the ability to create a wide range of textures and effects. Acrylic paint can create a wide range of effects and can be thinned or thickened to create different textures. Acrylic paintings can also be varnished sooner than oil paintings.

Other medium options include watercolour art, pastel painting and gouache painting. All of which have differing application processes and drying time.

Launceston wall paintings can be created for a variety of settings, such as homes, offices, or commercial spaces. They can also be created as gifts for special occasions, such as birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries.

Ultimately, where you hang a canvas wall art depends on the size and style of the painting, as well as the room and the purpose of the space. For example, living room wall art should compliment your furniture or act as a statement piece.

When hanging framed art, it's important to consider the lighting in the room and to make sure the framed painting is at eye level to ensure the best viewing experience. It's also important to make sure the painting is securely hung and won't fall.
