How to make a canvas like image

Cloudinary offers all kind of transformations, which you can utilize to create some very complex (and awesome!) outcomes, like this:

In the above example, we used the distort and Shadow effects along with the angle parameter to create a canvas-like image. 

Here's an even more complex example:
