When HelloCanvas.co.uk challenged me to test the quality of their canvas’s I was up and ready for the challenge. I searched my photos and after some deliberation went for one that had loads of bright colours. It was an image of Thomas and Charlie pulling faces at the camera. As they are the main point, quite focused in on them, and with the canvas being a large size (20 x 28 inch) I wanted to see whether the canvas would show the definition in the boys faces as good as the photo is on screen.
I emailed the photo across to them on Friday and no less than an hour later did I get a confirmation of the canvas being shipped and 3 days later, on Monday, it arrived. Not bad at all considering it came from the Netherlands and on a weekend too. With sheer anticipation I opened the packaging and was so shocked at the results.
The colours, the definition, the quality, just perfect!
I love how the colours on the boys clothing stands out so much, they are so bright and how the expressions on Thomas and Charlie’s faces are so distinctive. I’m astounded at the quality and clarity of the canvas.
With the photo being blown up so much, I wasn’t expecting it to come out so impressive. We don’t have an all singing, all dancing DSLR, just a standard digital, a Panasonic Lumix 16mp camera which is good enough for what I use them for but for a big canvas and using a photo which has quite a lot of detail too, I really wasn’t expecting it to be this good.
To purchase a canvas at this size (20 x 28 inch) will set you back £39 but I would say that is a reasonable price for the quality and level of service you get.

Definitely one of all the family. My Mum & Dad, me & sis & brother-in-law, niece & nephew, and great niece. Sis and brother-in-law now live in the USA (long way from sis's home town of Pontefract, Yorkshire) so it would be a nice thing to do. Parents wouldn't be able to go and see sis much longer (as Dad's health is getting worse – he's 72)
I think i would have a photo of cornwall printed, its full of family memories and the canvas would make me smile 🙂
I would choose a family photo as we are due to have our first baby in March.
