How do you turn a picture into a painting?

At Your Photo To Painting we are often asked “just how do you turn a picture into a painting?” And “does it have real brushstrokes?” When we make a photo look like a painting we do it through a process as shown above, one that combines various percentages of different layers of digital brushstroke techniques into a single image.

 

In order to begin to make a photo look like a painting the original image must be of sufficient size (100 KB?and up) to give adequate resolution. The original must also be resized by the artist assigned to turn a photo into a painting to a size that is ideal for that particular image. In order to turn a photo into a painting one must determine the proper degree of filtration based on criteria like “is this a landscape or a portrait? If there are faces, how many and how large are they?” You don’t want to attempt to turn a photo into a painting that has insufficient detail in critical areas but you do want the filters to ‘grab hold’ of appropriate textures (hair, flowers, grass, etc.) to be effective. He or she also assesses the color saturation, contrast and overall sharpness and performs any obvious cosmetic retouching prior to the filtering process that will turn a picture into a painting.

 

When we turn a picture into a painting we are aware of the fact that the buyer of this form of art wants it to look like a painting without having to pay as much as a typical original commissioned piece of art would cost. The tradeoff is that in order to make a photo look like a painting without the man-hours (and expense) normally involved the brushstrokes are built into the digital image that is applied to the canvas in an 8-color archival printing process. When we turn a photo into a painting in this way, the surface is flat (no raised paint or 3-D brushstrokes) with the exception of the canvas texture itself. But when viewed from a few feet or more the only thing a typical onlooker will say is “Wow! How much did you have to spend to turn a picture into a painting?!” What you decide to tell them is up to you. But the truth is that it is a fraction of the usual expense so we hope you will proudly tell them how to contact us.

When an artist typically is asked to turn a picture into a painting, the photo is either taken by the artist or mailed to them, the finished art is then shipped with the hope that everyone will be happy.
