Painting on Photos Printing to Canvas Using Fresh Paint on Windows 8 #WindowsChampions

My son and I both love playing games.  We have spent many a snuggle playing or painting or solving preschool problems on our devices.  Now that I have the new Acer touchscreen we have had fun exploring apps in the windows 8 app store.  There are a few we like, but we both love Fresh Paint.

– Now available – Disney•Pixar Finding Nemo Pack!

And yes, my son had me purchase the Disney Pixar Finding Nemo Pack!  The app is free and so are all the tools, but you can purchase packs of fun things for kids of all ages to paint!

Seriously, the things people can do with Fresh Paint is beyond impressive!  I thought I’d give my hand at it and create something wall worthy.  After snapping this picture of my baby’s hands I knew I had the picture I wanted to import and play with.

I simply imported this photo to a new canvas and played around.  If I was more talented I may have been able to actually paint his hands, but I’m not.  I do however like what adding paint to my picture did!

I then took my saved Fresh Paint painting and uploaded it to a picture to canvas site.  The final product now hangs on my wall.

Now if I could just get my older son to stay still long enough to do something similar with his beautiful hands, but in the mean time I will settle for his beautiful works of art he loves to create on my computer!  Bonus, I can actually print them out and share them with the whole family on our refrigerator because whether created with crayons or technology all art deserves to be displayed!

What will you create?
