Putting photos onto canvas is a great way to enhance an image and create a truly unique piece of art that you can hang on your wall. Its great to choose an image that really appeals to you and feels special and there are all sorts of places to find great images on the web!

In an ideal world, we would all be able to take fantastic original shots when on our holidays or out with our families or friends, that are worthy of a space on our walls, but, alas, many of us lack the talents to take that ‘wow factor’ picture. Never fear, anybody can search online and, providing you get permission, you can download and use amazing photographs that you find on the internet

The first place you might want to look for free pictures is photo sharing site, Flickr. Make sure you click on the ‘only search Creative Commons licensed content’ option, after which you can download and use any picture that catches your eye for your canvas print. However, we would still recommend that you contact the person who produced the photo explaining that you want to print the image onto canvas for personal use.

If you want more choice of professional pictures, and don’t mind paying a little for the rights, try an online picture library like Istockphotos.com. This site charges just £25 for a high resolution version of any of its pictures, which make great canvas prints.
