Are you a frustrated artist like me, who, despite your best efforts, just can't seem to draw or paint what you envision in your mind?

If so and you still would like to put something you created on an actual artist's canvas then why not have one of your digital camera photos printed on an actual stretched artist's canvas.

There are several ways to do this and prices vary wildly but the easiest way is to upload your image file to an online printing service.

Now, bear in mind that you don't have to upload an image straight from your camera; you can add your own artistic touches to it.

Check out your graphics programs and I'm sure you'll find several options that allow you to impart various effects to the image such as watercolor, conte crayon, oil paint, and others simply referred to as "painterly" effects.

I have applied some of these "filters", as they're called, to some of my images and then printed them at home on artist's watercolor paper. The effect was at least interesting, if nothing else, although I rather liked it.

In any event it was fun and something you can try at home, inexpensively or have one of your best shots done up on canvas.

This is the article that inspired this post about printing digital camera photos on canvas.

The website link provided in that article takes you to the company mentioned, but I couldn't find any information about printing on canvas, so I dug out a few places that print on canvas:

"Create Canvas Prints From Photos".

"Photos Printed On Canvas".

"Art Hammer".

Check this out on Google and you'll find many other places that print on canvas.
