Points to consider when choosing between print options

Choosing between Watercolor Paper and Canvas
Both watercolor paper and canvas have about the same lifespan. They look slightly different and would normally be framed differently.

Canvas does not need to go behind glass (or a glass substitute), but watercolor should.  Canvas is made to be stretched over a wood frame. Watercolor paper is best matted and framed behind glass (or glass substitute).

13” x 19” Photo Matte Finish Paper
A print on photo matte finish paper should also be matted and framed behind glass (or glass substitute). And although it is a matte finish, it is slightly smoother than the watercolor paper.
