About Canvas painting
Canvas painting is a painting done on a heavy-duty fabric. Modern canvas is usually made of cotton or linen, although historically it was made from hemp. Canvas has become the most common support medium for oil painting, replacing wooden panels. The advent of acrylic paint has greatly increased the popularity and use of cotton duck canvas. With digitization, Canvas can also be printed on using offset or specialist digital printers to create canvas prints. However handmade canvas painting has still not lost its charm.
History shows evidence of several famous handmade canvas paintings like The Starry Night -an oil on canvas by the Dutch post-impressionist painter Vincent van Gogh, Nighthawks -oil on canvas painting by Edward Hopper that portrays people in a downtown diner late at night, Guernica - a mural-sized oil painting on canvas by Pablo Picasso etc.
