My favourite jobs are large expressive murals of portraits or bodies, as I am a figurative painter at heart. However I am able to paint most styles whether that be typographic, abstract, landscape, and have completed works in all of the above categories. I also love taking on portrait commissions and helping a client to create a meaningful artwork.

Reviews:

Sam was excellent - he did loads of due diligence ahead of time on types of paint etc. because of a tricky brief, and was super flexible and great to work with on the days he did the painting. The art looked great - definitely a perfectionist. Thanks very much, Sam.

Rebecca painted a mural on our pocket doors and we were absolutely thrilled with the end result. Throughout the process Rebecca was faultless, she took time to fully understand what we were trying to achieve, prepared options for us to consider and was able to create a unique piece beyond our imagination of what could be achieved in the space. She was professional, always prompt in her responses and her commitment, and attention to detail on the day of the installation was fantastic. We would not hesitate to recommend Rebecca to others. She was great.

View an artist's work and contact them to discuss a commission. Custom painting pricing can vary depending on the size, medium, and complexity of the piece.

Canvas painting is a vibrant and exciting part of the art scene in United Kingdom, and offers both artists and art enthusiasts many opportunities to explore and appreciate this wall art.

Types of Popular United Kingdom Canvas Prints and Wall Art

Some popular subjects for custom paintings in United Kingdom include portrait art, these can be of people, a pet portrait, or even objects.

Landscape painting or nature paintings, this can include natural landscapes, such as mountains, forests, oceans (wave paintings), lakes and sunset paintings.

Still life paintings, inanimate objects such as flower art, fruits, and other objects arranged in a specific setting.

Fantasy art, this usually includes but isn't limited to child-friendly artwork. Cartoons, bunnies, unicorns, butterfly paintings or horse paintings can make great additions to a kid's bedroom.

Abstract paintings, the opposite of realism art, abstract art is a style of painting that does not depict a specific subject but rather focuses on color, shape, and form to create abstract art.

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.

Custom wall art and paintings in United Kingdom

United Kingdom 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.
