A photograph on a stretched canvas can make the image look like it was painted or drawn rather than printed. Transferring a photograph to canvas is easy. The canvas can be stretched onto a frame after the image is transferred.

Things You Will Need
Blow up your image to the size you want it with a computer program or adjust the size on the copy machine. Either print the image on a laser printer or make a copy of it on a toner-based copy machine.
Place the image face down on the canvas where you want the image to be transferred.
Hold the image steady while rubbing acetone on the back with a cotton ball. Rub the entire image until the paper is translucent.
Lift the paper off the canvas to see your transferred image.
Warnings:
- Acetone is toxic and flammable. Use in a well ventilated area.
