We create your design image in a computer file, which assigns each square on the\u00a0canvas a color. We then print your image onto blank canvas with a heat transfer process, and our computer generated file creates a stitch chart color guide. These charts help with the process of stitching; letting you know what color to use in each square. This is especially helpful if you have a background in cross-stitching, but not needed if you are used to following the colors on on the canvas.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.needlepaint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/handpainted-needlepoint-canvas.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4527 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.needlepaint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/handpainted-needlepoint-canvas-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"handpainted needlepoint canvas\" width=\"551\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.needlepaint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/handpainted-needlepoint-canvas-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.needlepaint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/handpainted-needlepoint-canvas-768x596.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.needlepaint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/handpainted-needlepoint-canvas-1024x794.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.needlepaint.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/handpainted-needlepoint-canvas.jpg 1238w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 551px) 100vw, 551px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><em>This is a hand painted needlepoint canvas we did for a customer, who preferred a solid lavender background and wanted to add a decorative border, using the original photo.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Painted needlepoint canvas:<\/span><br \/>\n<\/em>NeedlePaint would be happy to provide you with a hand painted canvas.
