Turn Photos on Canvas Into Abstract Art

Turn Photos on Canvas Into Abstract Art
Many people are familiar with those photos of Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Elvis, and Humphrey Bogart all sitting together in a diner or at a bar, enjoying a drink. We all know that these are not real photographs, but instead several different photos that were used to create this one, unique art work. Someone took the time to place all of these people together so that it formed a different type of art work that many retro art lovers fell for. How about those that love abstract art, yet don’t want to pay the high prices for those beautiful canvas prints? Believe it or not, it is easy to create your own abstract art with photos on canvas.
When you really think about it, the process is simple. Abstract art is just how it sounds – abstract. Things don’t have to line up perfectly, they don’t have to match, and they don’t even have to have a theme. You can take some of your favorite photographs and turn them into abstract art with a little cut and paste. It is very easy to use family members, landscapes, object, and so much more to create some extremely unique art works that you can be proud to hang anywhere.
First, you will need good editing software that you are comfortable with to edit the different photographs you choose. Cut and paste the different parts of your photos into one main photo with your software, making sure that you save your changes after each item that you like. The beauty of editing software and photographs is that you can change and rearrange anything you would like, no matter how far you are in the photograph. Soften the edges, smear them together, or create sharp lines with crisp, hard edges – it is all up to you since you are the artist.
However, you do want to make sure that you save your art work in a format that will make it easy for a canvas printer to print your photos on canvas and create abstract art. Once you finish all of your editing and get your abstract art piece exactly the way that you like it, you are ready to turn it into photos on canvas that you will be proud to hang anywhere.
