Art Firm Offers Unique Worldwide Custom Art Service

Successful art firm Canvas Artists has recently launched a new website that offers art lovers the chance to own unique, custom-made artwork at affordable prices.

(PRWEB) August 27, 2005 -- Successful art firm Canvas Artists has recently launched a new website -- www.canvasartists.com - offering art lovers the chance to own unique, custom-made artwork at affordable prices. Canvas Artists was established in 1997. Offering custom art via mail order has proved so successful that the company has decided to launch an online service.

Canvas Artists is a network of over 120 talented artists from all over the world. Each is a highly skilled and passionate creative professional. All customers have to do is send in a photo -- painters and drawers then work hard to turn it into a lovingly crafted drawing, watercolor or oil painting. Any photo will do -- Canvas Artists can merge elements of two or more photos into a single painting, or a drawing in pencil, pastel or charcoal. Because each piece of work that Canvas Artists does is hand painted or hand drawn by a talented human being, its even possible to 'improve photos or change aspects of subjects clothing or appearance..

One recent project came from a customer who wanted a painting of his grandparents country house. He had visited the house regularly as a child, and wanted a quality oil painting to help him reminisce about his boyhood. The customer did not have a single photograph of the house that was sufficient, so he sent Canvas Artists a dozen photos of different parts of the building. From the photos they were able to reconstruct an image of the whole house and turn it into a 24" by 36" painting.

When an artist has finished a painting or drawing a proof is put online for the customer to view. Once the customer is satisfied, their artwork is shipped to them -- worldwide delivery is available.

The response has already been enormous, with very many satisfied customers. This is the best present my husband has ever given me," says Brenda Orellana of Virginia Beach, VA. I will cherish it forever." Many other customers have been equally satisfied.

Joe McCullough, of Dallas/Ft. Worth, Texas, was taken aback by the efficiency and high quality of the Canvas Artists operation. The process was very smooth and fast," he says. Within a day, I had received instructions of what to expect, and a couple of days later I was in contact with the artist, providing additional clarification and details of what to include or exclude from the original photo. The whole process of sending the email to receipt of the sketch took about four weeks, as advertised, and I was able to have the sketch framed and ready for my wife's birthday. She was amazed at the quality and likeness of the sketch. What I liked most was the ability of the artist to take a photo that was somewhat dark and in shadows and bring out all the details and prominent characteristics of our sons smile.

Many of Canvas Artists customers have chosen to have a special event memorialized as a handcrafted masterpiece. Producing paintings, sketches and drawings from photos of weddings, birthdays and anniversaries is a major part of Canvas Artists work.

Luis Veras, Canvas Artists CEO, puts the companys success down to the personal touch: we live in a photographic age," he says, and fewer and fewer people routinely own works of art. But the fact is that a genuine work of art, crafted by hand, has enormous power to enrich our lives. The textures and colors of a professionally created drawing or painting can be far more real than any photograph. Our products are genuinely personal to the owner -- they can remain as much-loved personal keepsakes and family heirlooms for years to come."

A genuine painting or drawing adds much more to a room than a print or imitation, Veras adds. Many photographic shops offer so-called 'canvas prints -- photos that have been digitally manipulated to look like a painting. But the effect isnt the same -- these imitations dont have the richness of texture of a genuine painting. Were not into the business of digital imaging -- our artists have spent years mastering the ancient skills that allow them to produce stunning artworks."
