Learn how to choose the perfect canvas size and style to create a personalized dog artwork that captures the love and essence of your furry companion.

Choosing the right canvas size and style

Choosing the right canvas size and style is important for creating custom dog art canvas. Here are some tips:

  1. Consider the desired impact: Think about where you plan to display the artwork and how much space you have available. If you want a bold statement piece, opt for a larger canvas size. For a more intimate setting, a smaller canvas can create a cozy atmosphere. As a general rule the size of the canvas should be 1/3 of the width of the wall.
  2. Assess the artistic vision: Take into account the style of the artwork and the level of detail you want to capture. A larger canvas allows for more intricate brushstrokes and finer details, while a smaller canvas may work better for simpler, minimalist designs.
  3. Seek professional advice: If you're unsure about sizing and style options, consult with our support team at hello@verywoof.com . We can provide recommendations based on our extensive expertise.
