2. Medium Canvas (20x30 inches or 24x36 inches)

This versatile size offers balance—big enough to stand out but not overwhelming.

  • Ideal for capturing the finer details of your venue or outfits.

  • Works well as a centerpiece on a gallery wall.


3. Large Canvas (30x40 inches or larger)

Make a bold statement with a large canvas.

  • Perfect for those with spacious homes/galleries who want the painting to anchor a room.

  • Allows for intricate details and grand backdrops.


How to Decide:

  • Consider Your Wall Space: Where will you display it? Measure your space to ensure the painting fits.

  • Match Your Vision: Bigger canvases allow for more detail, while smaller ones feel intimate.

  • Ask Your Artist: Your artist will recommend a size based on your desired moment and venue details.



The right canvas size transforms your memory into a cherished piece of art that fits your life perfectly. Have questions? Let’s chat!
