Does anyone know of any places that sell canvas paintings at bargain prices?

Michelle · Apr 04, 2007 9:04 pm

This is one of my art suppliers….not so bargain price though, but excellent quality!

http://www.kanvas.com.au/

Kmart also sells canvas art, not as good a quality as Kanvas, but budget…
Shhhhh…don’t tell anyone, but I have bought a couple from Kmart….their not bad!

I also have some from Kanvas as well!!!

Hi Sallyho

This is not really budget, but may be of interest to you or others reading this thread.

They take your photo's and put them onto canvas, framed or unframed.

Hi Sally,

If you live in Melbourne take a trip down to Cranbourne and on the South Gippsland Highway (heading toward Cranbourne) just before you get to Thompsons Road there is a Mobil Service station on your left hand side.

There is an Artist there every Saturday and Sunday selling his wares....

He has about 60 - 70 paintings there every week.

They are quite good and reasonably priced too.

Matt I would be interested to hear what they are like when you get them, they have some nice pieces.

Yeah they look great - love the nudes. I assume you just need to get them framed or stapled onto canvas??

The Rasterbator is awesome for this -- it takes your digital images and zooms them into huge dot-based prints. Really great for taking one of your own images and turning it into large wall-sized art. We're actually thinking of taking pics of the pets and turning it into a huge mural for the entrance hall/passage.

I thought they would already be stapled onto a canvas??

There is a big art expo at the exhibition centre at the moment. I think it has another weekend left to run soon. Google for the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and look for the upcoming events.

Hi Matt,

Have you received your painting yet? HAppy with them??

mattwalker · Jun 09, 2008 12:24 am

Muddy,

I forgot about this thread!

The paintings arrived afew days later and they were everything I expected but bigger!

The canvasses were well painted and packaged really well too.

I would definatley recommend this seller.

Cazzy · Jun 12, 2008 12:57 pm

That art guy at the Petrol station in Cranbourne is still there. I drove past him last week. Should really stop and have a look though!

How about making your own?

I am looking at getting a huge canvas and covering it is some gorgeous wallpaper to make a headboard of sorts for my bedroom. I am not very artistic, that is why i am using wallpaper. There are some stunning papers out there. Not sure if it would end up cheap though
