Are you looking for a canvas painting but not sure what the benefits are? In this blog we break it down for you! But first, let's start by explaining exactly what canvas is.
Canvas is a sturdy fabric that is traditionally made from hemp fibres. It has a stiff and strong texture and has been used for centuries to make paintings: did you know that the oldest surviving canvas painting hangs in the Gemälde gallery in Berlin? This canvas is from 1410! So you see, investing in quality pays off.
Why you should choose a canvas painting!
At Walljar, in addition to wall decoration on canvas, you can also opt for plexiglass and posters. But there is a big difference between these materials! Canvas looks very different from, for example, the glossy plexiglass, but choosing canvas has many advantages! Curious? Please read on!

A canvas painting is made of a light material . There are no heavy screws involved and plugs are not necessary to hang the painting safely. easy!
2. It's not pricey!
A canvas painting is cheap, especially when compared to other materials such as wood and (plexi) glass. Super nice for the currants among us!

The options are endless. You can put any image you want on a canvas and turn it into a beautiful painting of your own taste! In addition, it is available in all kinds of shapes, types and sizes.

As we said, the oldest canvas painting is from 1410 and still hasn't turned into a pile of dust. How bizarre.

In addition, the ink is odorless and environmentally friendly!
7. A canvas painting gives depth
Because a canvas painting has depth, and does not hang flat against the wall like some other wall decorations, the image literally and figuratively comes forward and attracts attention in the room where it hangs!
