When you look around the www.PhotoArtPeople.com site, there are so many styles and sizes to choose from! One of our most unique and stunning design options is the BrushTouch technique. This unique method transforms your favorite photograph into a digital painting on canvas for a fraction of the cost of having an actual oil painting created. Our digital artists take your photograph and carefully examine all aspects of the picture – how to crop it, where to enhance the colors and shading, which brush to use – much like a portrait artist would. A real person is working on your photo, giving you the best results every time. The only difference between our artists and a portrait artist that uses oil paint is that we paint digitally, by hand. No automation here!
The personal touch is important because different pictures need different techniques to create a painting on canvas. For instance, a baby photo will require more delicate brush strokes than a pet, which would benefit from broader brush strokes for fur. After all, you wouldn’t apply eye liner with a paint roller! The eyes of your portrait will also be “painted” very carefully to maintain the sparkle. The eyes are the heart and soul of a portrait. If they are dead and lifeless, the portrait will not be appreciated. These small touches will make a big difference in the quality of the final piece of art. It’s what separates the professionals at PhotoArt People from the amateurs.
Another great aspect of our BrushTouch technique is that we can take a picture that has some major problems that would make it unsuitable for a simple photo enlargement, most commonly a low resolution, grainy photo. Digital imaging software, in the hands of an experienced artist, can enhance the original image to a point where brush strokes can be applied to make it really sparkle. Some of our customers simply can’t believe the transformation!
Creating a great digital painting on a computer is only half the battle; equally important is printing and professionally framing your photograph. Since our museum-quality canvases are “gallery-wrapped,” your digital painting will be stretched tight around a professional–quality wooden frame to create a smooth, staple-free edge with perfect seams and corners. Our framing materials include premium, museum-quality 1 ¼” stretcher bars around the outside rim. The high quality of the print, canvas and frame mounting mean it will last for about a hundred years.
When you pick out the photograph you’d like to have printed, you’ll want to make sure you upload a high-resolution file (between 2 to 10MB) to get the best quality photo to canvas piece. We can also work with original photographs, but you won’t want to send a digital print from your home printer. Simply take your original negative to your favorite photo lab for printing and mail the print to us with your on-line order. In about 7-10 days, you’ll have a beautiful BrushTouch canvas for a loved one or to keep for yourself!
The cost? Amazingly you can get a digital painting from a photo for less than $100. And we’re so sure you’ll love it we offer a 110% money-back guarantee if you’re not thrilled. Try the BrushTouch technique today!
