Transform Your Travel Photos into Beautiful Watercolors with this App

Summer vacation may be coming to an end, but the memories from your summer excursions will last forever. Whether you visited a destination you had never been before or revisited one of your favorites, the images you took along the way can bring you back to some of your best moments there.

What better way to reminisce of Summer ‘16 than by turning your travel photos into painterly works of art. Here’s one way you can convert your vacation snapshots into a watercolor masterpiece (no painting experience needed :) ).


1. Download the App: Waterlogue - Our favorite watercolor rendering app (available for your iPhone or iPad)

2. Choose a Photo & Start Creating your Watercolor Painting: Select one of 12 photo filters and customize to your liking.
*Pro Tip: LCD’s favorite filter is “Vibrant” – The color scheme is bright, lively, and crisp – Perfect to brighten up any room!

3. Print: Set your watercolor image to save as “JPEG” and “Original” under image settings (located in the bottom right hand corner of the app), email the image to yourself, and then easily upload and order your painting from an Internet-based image publishing service (our go-to is Shutterfly).

4. Place your art: Think of a room in your home that could benefit from an update, such as replacing an existing piece of art to give the room a fresh look. Any blank walls that could use some love? If you need a visual to help you imagine the art piece in the room and to select a canvas size, grab some painters tape and create an outline the size of the canvas on the wall of your choice (or simply mark out the canvas size with a tape measure). This is a great way to see how the scale of your painting works in the space.

5. Lastly, hang your masterpiece!
