When I write a stitch guide, I always wait for the actual canvas to come in. It seems extra cautious until they come in. Although I've stitched the canvas that the ones from the copy artist are based on, I've found that there is always a difference.
Recently, we received two of the same canvas at the same time. I was struck how different the colors were. The sky and the robes of the canvas on the left are much brighter on the one canvas. I don't get to see the difference all the time. I love painted canvas but they are done by hand -- hence the variations!
