 p.1 #3 · p.1 #3 · Best photo paper for printing canvas art reproductions | |
You have a few options.
As Daniel said, you can use canvas. I would go for something with minimal texture since the photograph you capture will have the original texture and brush strokes in it already.
Because the canvas texture and brush strokes are already in the photograph, it also works to use a smooth or slightly textured natural white (not bright white) matte paper. Even something very slightly shinier like Canson Platine can work, but don't go to a semigloss or glossy paper.
But, I see you're going through an online service, so it's hard to say what they have.
I'm not sure how perfect these reproductions need to be. In the past I've done some of this kind of work, specifically making prints of paintings that the artists sell. Duplicating the colors of a painting exactly, so you can lay a section of the print over the painting and have a hard time seeing any difference, can be difficult. You need to make a camera profile in the light being used to illuminate the painting, and the system used to process and then print the resulting file needs to be very well color managed. Even then some trial and error tweaking is usually needed. Getting anything that close from an online service in one try is a one in a million shot. OTOH if the reproduction just has to look like the painting and both aren't seen together it might be alright. Just don't expect great accuracy.
