Canvas Art: A Great Way to Decorate Your Home

Whatever your home decorating style preferences are, one very versatile decorating option to consider is the use of canvas prints on your walls. The special, textured appearance of canvas printing provides both an eye-pleasing viewing experience and a mental impression that suggests carefully chosen, distinctive quality. You can have any photo turned into a canvas print. The photo to canvas process provides a unique way for you to decorate any room in your home. If a landscape picture is exactly what you need for that finishing touch, you can finish off the room in an even more personal and unique way by having one of your favorite personal landscape photos, maybe the one from your most memorable vacation, printed onto canvas to hang on that wall. Most likely, you will find that there are a number of photos you would like to turn into canvas prints. And if you need a picture, but do not actually have a photo you would like to use, you can also choose from a gallery of specially chosen photos.

Of course, what home is complete without family photos? Your family photos can become even more treasured when you use the photo to canvas option. That wonderful moment-in-time baby picture, a family photo portrait, or a favorite pet photo of your cat sleeping in the sun or your dog shaking water off his coat all will make distinctive, photo to canvas wall art.

The best canvas printing depends on the use of the highest quality canvas and special, high-resolution printers that use specially formulated, pigmented inks. In the hands of a skilled artisan, these high quality materials, along with your chosen photo, are transformed into beautiful art that will enhance any room in your home.

If you are mentally searching your mind for photos you could use for this purpose, here are some other photo types to consider that will make marvelous canvas prints: flower close-ups; people at special events such as birthday and anniversary celebrations, weddings, and graduations; beautiful skies you have captured with your camera; cityscapes; sunsets; landmarks that have special meaning for you; beautifully displayed food; sunrise scenes; sports activity photos that have captured an individual participant in a unique or classic pose; and wild and domestic animals.

Once you have chosen the photo you want to use, you will need to decide on the shape and size of your canvas print. Would a square shape be best for your decorating needs, or would a rectangular shape work best? After you have made that decision, you will be able to consider a whole range of artistic options that can be applied to your canvas art print. You may want your canvas print to look exactly like the photo, or you may want to use one of the artistic variations that are available. This will depend entirely on your decorating scheme and what you think will best enhance your room's overall appearance. Some of the choices for artistic variation are removing the color so the picture is classic black and white; removing the color and then washing over the photo with a single color; removing the background leaving only the subject of the photo; removing the background color but leaving the color intact on the subject. There is even a pop art choice.
