The canvas print is printed on 100% natural cotton canvas (not paper!), the ones that are used for real oil paintings, using the giclee printing method. The canvas prints are then coated with a special water-resistant compound to guarantee that your print will last a lifetime under a variety of conditions. But unlike real paintings you don't need to stretch it over a wooden frame, just install the wall art in a regular photo frame. It's very easy and takes just a few minutes.
