Originals in this selection, Acrylic on canvas, Enamel, 500 to 1,000 euro.
Points of gloss on a matte ground
Acrylic on canvas is matte to silky, while enamel gleams hard, and exactly that contrast shapes such pictures. For 500 to 1,000 euro you can find acrylic-on-canvas paintings with enamel for sale that join both worlds in one work.
Often acrylic forms the calm field and enamel sets accents on it: a line, a patch, a drop. The change from matte to glossy makes the picture look different from every angle. It looks both painted and lacquered.

Canvas on the wall
On a stretcher the picture hangs lightly and needs only one hook. In rooms with side light, lacquer accents become small highlights. A shadow-gap frame stresses the surface and protects the edges.
Questions before buying
With mixed surfaces in particular, it helps to know how the enamel bonds to the acrylic and whether a protective coat is present. Dimensions in centimeters and stretcher depth matter too. One more point: let the acrylic dry fully before the enamel goes on, otherwise cracks may form. A carefully made picture shows clean borders around its glossy zones.
