Studio Canvas Mockup
What's inside

This studio canvas mockup is a quick way to show digital art without a photo shoot.
It’s a handy file for artists and photographers. Tip: muted artwork tends to look better in bright room scenes, while bold colours suit plain walls.
It helps you judge scale too: artwork that looks right on screen can feel tiny once it’s framed in a room. Show two or three prints from the same series in matching frames for a gallery-wall look.
Use it for
- Digital art
- A painting
- A photo print

Editable options in the Studio Canvas Mockup PSD
Main things you can change in Photoshop:
- Artwork, placed through the smart object
- Frame colour, where the file offers options
- Glass reflection layer
- Shadows on the wall
How to edit this Studio Canvas Mockup in Photoshop
- Pick the print you want to show: photo, illustration or typography.
- Open the file in Photoshop and double-click the smart object thumbnail in the Layers panel.
- Place your design, hide the sample artwork, save, and go back to the main file.
- Keep the glass reflection on for a real look.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Another tip: keep the glass reflection layer on. It is small, but it’s what makes the frame look real.
Ways to use this Studio Canvas Mockup

Questions about this mockup
What licence does it come with?
That depends on the author's terms. The download page lists what is allowed; when in doubt, ask the author directly.
How do I put my artwork on the canvas?
Find the smart object layer (it has a small icon on its thumbnail), double-click it, place your design, then save and close that tab.
Which Photoshop version do I need?
A recent Photoshop CC version is best. Older versions can open the file but sometimes have trouble with smart objects and effects.
Can I change the frame colour?
Many frame mockups include black, white and wood options or a colour layer for the frame itself. The preview usually shows the options.
