Our Painting Process: From Design File to Finished Canvas
Step 1: Design Submission
You submit your design files to our studio, we recommend software platforms MacStitch & Stitchly. If you are working from a painted master, we can also match from a physical sample. Our team reviews each submission for canvas readability, number of colors, and size requirements.
Step 2: Quote and Approval
Next, you receive a detailed quote based on design complexity, canvas size, mesh count, and color quantity.. We provide per piece pricing so you can plan your margins accordingly.
Step 3: Master Painting
Our artists paint a master proof of your design. This digital proof is sent to you for color approval and detail verification. Once approved, the master is stored at our studio as a permanent reference, making reorders seamless and consistent.
Step 4: Batch Production
With the master approved, production begins. Each canvas in your order is hand painted to match the approved proof. Our quality control process includes color consistency checks across every piece in the batch to ensure production consistency across your entire inventory.
Step 5: Delivery
Completed canvases are quality inspected, carefully packed, and shipped directly to you.
