A photo print looks better on a shaded wall canvas mockup than on a white artboard, and this mockup is set up for exactly that.
It’s a handy file for photographers and artists. Tip: if you sell prints, show the same artwork in two or three frames so buyers can picture it at home.
Print sellers on Etsy and similar shops use images like this as the main listing photo, because buyers want to see the piece on a wall. Show two or three prints from the same series in matching frames for a gallery-wall look.
Good for
- A photo print
- A painting
- Digital art

What’s inside the Shaded Wall Canvas Mockup PSD
Open it in Photoshop and you can change:
- Artwork, placed through the smart object
- Shadows on the wall
- Frame colour, where the file offers options
- Glass reflection layer
Add your design to the Shaded Wall Canvas Mockup
- Pick the print you want to show: photo, illustration or typography.
- Open the PSD in Photoshop and find the smart object layer, usually named “Your Design” or “Place Here”.
- Drop your artwork in, fit it to the canvas, save and close. The mockup updates by itself.
- Switch the frame colour if the file has options.
- Save a JPG for clients and social media, and keep the PSD for later changes.
Worth remembering: pick a print size that matches the frame’s ratio; stretched or cropped art gives the game away.

Questions about this mockup
Can I use this canvas mockup for client work?
Mockups Design sets the licence, and it can differ from file to file. Many free files allow personal and commercial use, but some are personal-only or ask for credit. Read the terms on the download page before a paid project.
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.
What print ratio does the frame take?
Open the smart object and check its canvas size. Frames are usually made for standard ratios like A-series, 4:5 or 2:3.
