Florida, FL (prHWY.com) January 22, 2013 - Florida, Jan 22, 2013 - To frame the canvas, you simply slip the painting into the frame from the back as usual. A piece of paper is stuck on the back to 'tidy up' the back of the canvas and stop dust collecting in it. If the frame isn't as deep as the canvas, you'll see part of the canvas' edge if you're looking from the side.

Some artists work hard to eliminate every brushstroke blending and glazing. Others use brushmarks and texture as an integral part of their paintings, as part of an expressive or painterly style. A painting isn't a photo so you don't have to try to hide what you've used to create it -- unless you wish to!

Framed Canvas Prints - A canvas arts does not always require a frame. A lot of times artists and canvas artwork companies simply do a wrap. A wrap is when the sides of the canvas are folded and wrapped around the stretcher bards and then attached to the back of the wooden frame using tacks or staples. Framing a canvas art is not unusual though. If you feel like framing your canvas print, you can easily do it yourself using materials you can purchase at a hardware or crafts store. Here's how to do it:

Begin by stretching the canvas as tight as possible without damaging it or the image printed on it. It is necessary to stretch the canvas to prevent sagging so that the material will not flop in the frame. For regular sized prints, stretcher bars are often used. For larger canvas prints, you may have to use a cross bar.

To stretch you canvas first, get the measurement of your canvas print. You will need it in order to choose the right sized stretcher frame. The frame should be about 3 inches shorter on each side of the printer canvas.

Next, lay the canvas flat and put the stretcher frame on the very center. Fold over one side and put a staple in the middle. Pull the opposite side tightly and use a second staple to secure it in place. Repeat the process to the 2 remaining sides.

Grab the canvas near the first staple. Tug tightly and place another staple a couple of inches to the right. Place another staple this time 2 inches to the left. Do the same process to the other three sides of the canvas.

Tug at the corner flap tightly, fold it over and then staple in place. Do the same to the other three corners.

If your canvas print has not been given a varnish finish yet, you can coat it yourself using a gloss finish varnish. Spray the entire canvas print very lightly. A varnish finish is necessary to protect the canvas art from dust, water and sunlight. Spray on a coat and let it dry for about an hour before applying a second coat (if you wish). Let it dry for at least another hour. If you want to be sure that the varnish has dry, let it stand for several hours or overnight. Perform this task in a clean environment so as not to get anything on the print.

Lastly, place the print inside the frame in the same way you would a poster or a photo. You have the option of leaving some area around the image for a matte or let the canvas completely fill the area. It all depends on the size of frame and canvas print. If you want your canvas print to be really unique, you can add paint to the edges and really bring out main image of the print.
Contemporary portrait artists, by definition, focuses on the person, not the surroundings. A portrait's power can be lost if the subject is surrounded by scenery.
However, a photographer can still enhance a portrait with props as long as he makes the person the central focus in the contemporary portraiture. The key here is to include the most telling and significant details related to your subject.
