Does anyone know how I can get a picture I painted on canvas turned into prints?

Answer 1

Your cheapest solution would be to, under the correct lighting conditions that you'll of course have to set up, is to take a picture of your artwork with a good digital camera. Preferably 2.1 Megapixels or higher. The higher the megapixels, the better the resolution. Then from there, you can have the digital images taken to any photo shop that can make poster sized prints. If you only want 1 or 2 prints, this would be the most cost effective. If you are talking about making ALOT more, as in say 50 to 1000 or more, try taking the images on the camera, or the actual piece itself to any print or lithograph shop in your area. I can tell you from experience that making lithographs will cost alot of money, but for mass production of a piece, the cost is considerably cheaper than having a poster sized photograph made.
