If that old painting that has hung on your wall since your great-grandmother painted it half a century ago could use a bit of sprucing up, we have just the solution. Our large format scanners can flawlessly copy your artwork, and our inkjet printers produce a high quality, archival print. The new copy of your cherished pencil sketch, watercolour, or oil painting will retain the texture of the original - you may not even notice the difference!
We can also print copies of famous artworks for which the copyright has expired. We have a large selection of images painted by household names such as Monet, Van Gogh and Degas, and we're happy to create a print in any size you want. Browse our collection Classic Art Prints.
And why not share the wealth? Make a copy of that antique painting for all your family members, or present a Renoir-loving friend with a beautiful print of Luncheon on the Grass. It's quick and easy to place your order, and we'll do the rest (including send it straight to the recipient)!
PICKING THE PERFECT GIFT
It's always more fun to receive a creative, personal gift than a generic one. And it's usually just as much fun for the gift giver to pick out a really special, meaningful present.
There are plenty of ways you can figure out the best art-related gift to give. If you know you want to present them with a reproduction of an original drawing or painting, you've already dealt with one of the tricky choices, but you still need to pick the best display option:
- Snoop around their house. Not into drawers and closets, but try to get a feel for the lucky person's decorating scheme. If they like delicately wallpapers and pastels, consider choosing an image with pale colors. Bold walls? Maybe a charcoal or pen and ink drawing to be sure you don't clash with the existing colors.
- Pay attention as you're being given the tour (or if you're there all the time, ask for another one!). Do they mention an area they wish was better decorated, or tell you about a color scheme they're planning? If they are regretful of a certain blank wall, try to sneak a measurement so you can order an artwork of the perfect size.
- If you're unable to browse their home, chat with people who know them well. Have they mentioned a style they have in mind for the living room (above the couch perhaps?), or a certain artist or art style they are particularly taken with?
- If you can't get a specific answer, consider what you know about the person when choosing the best artwork. A lover of contemporary artwork could be left speechless by a big, beautiful geometric abstract, while a fan of the classics may not even be aware they're dreaming of Van Gogh's Sunflowers for the sitting room, or A Starry Night for above the piano.
- Don't forget to think about the presentation. Do they already have a number of unframed canvases hanging in the home? If so, you might choose to stick with that style, or choose one of our beautiful canvas floater frames to accompany the print. If you've chosen an old artwork and know the recipient's home is quite modern, perhaps the print would be uniquely beautiful in an angled, matte-black frame.
- If you don't have access to the perfect image, or for any other reason you're unable to select a canvas print or frame, why not let them pick their own, on you! We offer Gift Certificates in custom denominations. We can send the recipient the code via email, or print a physical certificate and mail it straight to them!
Whatever your budget, or relationship with the recipient, when you put real thought into your gift, your efforts will be recognized and appreciated.
