Have you ever taken a photo on a trip that was just beautiful, one that you would have loved to put up in your home? How about a perfect shot you took of a sunset that you love looking at? Do you have a favorite photo of your children that would look great as an oil painting, hanging up over the fireplace? You can make favorite photos into art by transferring any image to canvas. Canvas Press is a company that can do this for you.
Canvas Press can convert any photo print onto long-lasting, fade-resistant canvas, cropped and sized to your preference. They can create photo canvas prints that look like an oil painting, and even artistically alter it to look like a masterpiece rendition, just like the photo above!
After you upload your photo, you can select the size you’d like, the border you prefer, and any special effects you’d like to add. Borders can be a solid white or black, or you can have the picture flipped for a unique effect. Special effect options include having your art converted into black and white, or sepia, or having it embellished into a stunning rendition of the original photo. You can have retouching done if the photo has any flaws you’d like removed before making your masterpiece. You can even have a photo split into mutliple panels of various sizes (you pick it all) for a great effect like this:
Canvas Press canvas art will not fade, even in the sun, and even wipes clean, so no worries about little fingers excitedly touching it when your children receive their images. They are made to last, are very sharp, and add a personal touch to your home. After all, wouldn’t you rather have art of your family or photos you personally took decorating your home?
I had the opporunity to have an image enlarged to a 16×20 inch piece for review, and used this photo of my sweet goddaughter:
and received this vertical print, on 1.5″ gallery-wrapped canvas with Image Border:
I was very happy when I received it. I’m not sure what exactly they do in those image labs, but the Canvas Press canvas print is incredibly sharp, and she looks absolutely beautiful (my camera and home lighting may not do it justice). Everyone who has seen it has gasped, and it’s a real treat for her.
Buy it! Want to check out what can be done with your favorite photos? Visit CanvasPress.com and peruse the different options. You can have a single image split onto multiple canvases, made to look like an oil painting, or altered by master artistry into a stunning rendition of the original. Your entire order ships Ground for only $15, 3-day for $40 or overnight for $55. Use code “Welcome” for 10% off your order!

Wow! I learned that you can download hi-res images from Hubble Telescope and CanvasPress can print them for you! How cool is that?! And what a way to commemorate a special date! Just look up the date of your baby's birth, or of your wedding (as long as it occurred while Hubble was functioning, of course), and you can order a print of the Earth or virtually anything else on that date! Super cool!

OilWorks is a custom art reproduction process offered exclusively through Canvas Press. We incorporate a digital process combined with a personal touch to paint your photograph on our computers before printing with archival inks to a high-quality canvas. The texture of the cotton weave canvas and the softness of the brush strokes make your photograph look like a hand-crafted masterpiece. Excluding tangible paint, there is virtually no difference between what goes into a real painting versus an OilWorks painting.

I learned how to take a picture of a flower. "Focus right on the center of the flower and be as close as you can. This will cause the outstretched petals to be out of focus the further they get and make beautiful lines and colors in the finished photo." I love flower picture, and this tip will be great to help me take better pictures.
