Printing on canvas first seems to limit the artist, though. Not doing that would let them make a dogs head bigger to make the dog's expression the main part of the piece, for example, if you were getting a painting made of a favorite pet and wanted that - or whatever the goal is. The goal of art isn't to look as much like a photo as possible, so printing the photo first doesn't seem a good thing.

Some artists work to create photorealism; I'd say it's fine to still call it art (but not art that does anything for me besides illicit awe as to the skill involved) despite it being perhaps better described as craft.
- gnaritas 13y agoThere isn't a defined goal for art; it's whatever the artists wants it to be and in this case that's photo-realism.
