For true fans: Are you ready for a challenge? Then 50x60 cm or larger are the choice. It takes some time, but the results are impressive.
Useful tips when choosing a format
- Look at your motif: Portraits, animals and landscapes look better on a larger canvas.
- Time available? Short on time? Go for a smaller painting. More time? Feel free to choose something larger.
- Where do you want to hang it? Measure in advance the space where you want to display your artwork.
- Please note the framing: Sizes such as 30×40 and 40×50 cm often fit in standard photo frames.
Why larger paintings cost more
Larger canvas means: more stones, longer production time and larger packaging.But you also get a lot in return – more details, colour and depth.
Hint: Cheaper sets may have blurry symbols and poor adhesive. So choose quality rather than just a low price.
Conclusion: the right format depends on you!
There is no 'perfect' format. Think about your available time, experience and what you like. When in doubt, start small – you can always scale up.
