Look Closer

A Print From Across the Room. A Painting Up Close.

A flat print reflects light evenly, which is why it reads as a photograph. Hand-applied paint sits on top of the canvas, so the ridges catch the light and throw small shadows that shift through the day.

  • Real paint, real tools. An artist works over each print with a brush or palette knife, following the strokes of the original painting.
  • One of a kind. Because the paint goes on by hand, every piece varies slightly from the next.
  • Made to last. Greenguard Gold and ECOLOGO certified archival inks on heavyweight canvas with no optical brighteners.

How Each Piece Is Made

By Hand at Every Step

  1. The Original

    An independent artist paints it

    Every piece starts as an original painting by an emerging artist, professionally photographed to capture every stroke.

  2. The Print

    Printed on artist-grade canvas

    Archival, certified inks on heavyweight poly-cotton canvas, printed to order in our Florida print boutique.

  3. 2–3 Extra Days

    Finished with real paint

    An artist builds texture by hand with brush and palette knife, layering paint where the original had the most movement.

  4. Ready to Hang

    Stretched, framed, inspected

    Hand-stretched and set in your choice of floating frame, then quality checked several times before it ships free.

Wild Poppies,
Hand-Embellished

by Katie Garrison

Every bloom is brought to life by hand. Real paint is layered over the print, so the petals sit raised off the canvas and catch the light just like the original painting.

Collector Notes

What to Know Before You Choose

  • Each Piece Varies

    The paint is applied by hand, so the texture on yours will differ slightly from the photos. It's yours alone.

  • Light It From the Side

    Texture shows best with light coming across the canvas, like a window to one side or an angled picture light.

  • Frame Sizing

    Floating frames add about 2″ to width and height. A 40″ × 30″ canvas hangs at roughly 42″ × 32″.

  • Seven Frame Finishes

    Black, oak, espresso, natural, white, gold and silver floating frames, so the painted edges stay visible.

  • Made to Order

    Printing and framing take 4–7 business days, plus 2–3 days for hand-painting. Free shipping in the contiguous US.

  • Delivered With Confidence

    If your artwork is damaged in transit, we'll replace it quickly and hassle-free.
