Imagine an endless wall that is blank. Fill every square inch of the wall with all your wildest dreams and thoughts. It’s like painting infinity on a extra large canvas. You’ll feel like you have the whole sky all to yourself. Just add colors and shapes to dance along with your imagination.
Why limit yourself to small? A large canvas can make a big impact in a room. Not only is it a piece of decoration, but also the centerpiece and heartbeat for a space. You are invited in by the stories it whispers and feelings that frames can never capture.
Take a trip down memory lane. When you were young, and had a crayon at your disposal, did you remember how much fun it was to cover the wall with color? Much to the dismay of your parents. This freedom is what fuels the soul of an artist. Don’t you agree that translating that limitless creativity on a huge space can bring back that sense of childlike freedom?
Consider, for example, a few contemporary artists. Many contemporary artists use large canvasses to express their visions. Jackson Pollock and Jean-Michel Basquiat used large canvases to express their visions. This is a size of canvas that not only demands, but also commands attention. The canvas is like a huge megaphone that lets the artist shout out his innermost thoughts.
The possibilities are endless with these large materials. Let your imagination soar as you explore different mediums, such as acrylic, oil or mixed media. Playgrounds are bigger when the canvas is larger. With great size comes great responsibility. It can be difficult to balance compositions. This is a tightrope creative walk. It’s important to distribute the elements in a way that doesn’t make it look too cluttered, or sparse.

Practical tips are always useful. Have you ever thought of rotating your canvas as you work? It will reduce strain, and give you new perspectives for creativity. Elevate it if possible. Use easels, or hang the picture on a wall to make it easier and more comfortable. It also helps you to get a feel for how the piece will look when hung.
