Pictures to Canvas - 4 Ways to Create Unique Wall Art

Everyone wants something truly unique to display in their homes and offices, something no one else has, but still reflects who they are. Yet they don't really want to go out and spend a fortune on wall art at the same time. So where do they turn? Order cheap art prints online and hope that they look good when they get them? Pick up some tacky wall art at the local discount store and try to dress it up? No, they simply need to turn their pictures to canvas prints and create unique, beautiful wall art. Here are four unique ways to turn ordinary pictures to canvas wall art:

1. Abstract, abstract, abstract - Take some of your favorite photos and scan them into your computer (if they aren't already digital photos). Next, cut and paste different pieces of them until you have a truly unique, abstract work. Or, you can use different editing software to add in solid colors, fade or smudge them, or do whatever you like to your photos so that you create an abstract piece you truly like.

2. Pull out your "animal" instinct - Sometimes photos of animals can say a thousand words. The yawning lion at the zoo, your terrier giving you the "sad" look, a majestic eagle flying through the sky, there are millions of different ways that you can turn a picture to canvas and create a beautiful, unique piece of wall art that will create a warmth to any room. Animals never go out of style, and you can easily find beautiful photos online to purchase if you do not have any of your own to turn from a picture to canvas print.

3. Family first - Walk into any doctor's office and you are bound to see photos of babies, families, and people gracing the walls. Believe it or not, but 9 times out of 10 these people are related to the doctor - or the doctor delivered that sweet little baby. Family photos can make warm, yet elegant ways to create wall art that will put people at ease. Simple portraits, artistic photos - anything you want can turn from a picture to canvas print and create a beautiful way to dress up any office or room.

4. Digital art - With all of the wonderful digital art software out there, those of us with absolutely no artistic bones can suddenly create beautiful digital art. Some software offers the ability to create works that look like hand-painted watercolors, oils, and other painting styles with a simple click of our mouse. And, with the magic "undo" button, it is easy to turn a mistake over and redo any part of your painting without ruining the whole thing.
