What is a textured canvas?
This unique technique replicates the look and feel of an original painting, including canvas texture and the artist’s original brushstrokes. The image is first printed by offset lithography with oil-based inks on a thick piece of oil-based material. A mold of the original painting can be used as a guide to create a feeling of brushstrokes, or the artist can re-create the brushstrokes him or herself. The mold is used with heat and pressure to bond the printed image to artist-quality canvas. An example is Council of Chiefs by Howard Terpning.
