Artwork Selection for a Beach House

Expression and individuality can be added to any room via the use of art. If you choose wisely, an artwork can completely alter the feel of a room. Consider these factors when selecting a work of art for your home:

Consider the tone you wish to set. Maybe you’re looking for a place to kick back and relax, or maybe you prefer a more polished, put-together aesthetic.

Space: Which aesthetic do you prefer? Transitional? Some kind of cutting-edge? The clean seaside, perhaps?

Consider your existing decor and furniture when deciding where to hang your artwork. It’s common to hang paintings over a couch, bed, or media center. Contemplate if you’d want a single enormous artwork or a collection of smaller ones.

Is Canvas Worth It?

Because of its adaptability, the canvas can be utilized for works ranging in scale from miniatures to monumental murals. Canvas’s wonderful feel under the brush and visible durability are the two main reasons for its widespread use among artists. Canvas, in comparison to more conventional wood surfaces, is both lighter and more convenient to travel.

What Qualities Make for a Superior Canvas?

There are many factors to think about while selecting a canvas, including fabric, texture, and priming. All of these factors influence the canvas’s overall quality and the types of paintings that work best on it.

Linen and cotton are the most used materials for Canvas Paintings. Linen is superior to cotton in terms of surface quality and durability, but it is also much more expensive. You can get a great-looking, reasonably long-lasting surface for less money if you go with cotton. Canvases sold by Arteza are all made from natural fibers.

Texture

Woven from a variety of natural fibers, the canvas can take on a variety of textures depending on the thread count used. Paintings of various styles call for the use of a wide variety of textures. Canvas with a rougher weave is better for broad brush strokes and larger paintings, while finely woven canvas is ideal for little, intricate work.

In Prime Time or Out of It

Priming coastal and beach Paintings with gesso (pronounced “Jesse”), a mixture of plaster of Paris, adhesive, chalk, or pigment, ensures that the paint will not soak into the canvas, allowing the actual colors to shine through. Even though most painters prefer the bright, smooth color that primed canvases provide, some prefer the muted, textured look that unprimed canvases offer. There are three coatings of an acid-free titanium acrylic gesso that is both animal and humanely friendly and applied as a primer to all of Arteza’s canvas surfaces before they are painted on.
