#imagetransfer — Public Fediverse posts

Interested in using a gel plate to create monoprints or image transfers as stand alone works of art or to use in collage?

Next Saturday I'll be sharing these techniques at our quarterly hybrid meetup for the #MixedMediaCollageArtistsGuild from 10am-noon Pacific.

Join either online or in person in #PDX at the Independent Publishing Resource Center.

Register and find out more details here: https://www.iprc.org/events-list/npishoef9s3alxt9hifzh47s8wecv8-fr8bd

The print I've shared was made using two layers of acrylic paint and a stencil.

Chaos in my homemade travelers notebook.
I took a moment to play with a #waxSeal (not entirely successfully), and then I found my #imageTransfer experiment, and suddenly, it became a fast #collage of stickers, tape, and paper scraps.
The image transfer is this image of a tree I found in an old book that was falling apart. I succeeded in transferring it onto acrylic gel medium, which I then pasted onto the cardstock. This is pretty funky because what was formerly paper is now translucent!

After a couple weeks of #imageTransfer experiments, here's what it was all for. Airport security successfully broke this glass key cabinet when I flew by repacking my suitcase in an idiotic way.
I cut a new glass piece, and transferred this dragonfly image from https://www.pictureboxblue.com/dragonfly-drawings/ using acrylic gel medium.
Then, I applied "antique gold" wax to the back with a stencil brush.
Now that I don't have to see the broken cabinet every day, I can stop feeling frustrated about that flight.

🧵 4/5 My #imageTransfer transfer onto glass experiment conclusions. Sorry for abbreviations.
A.M = Amsterdam acrylic medium (liquid)
V = water-based varnish (generic local brand)
G.M. = Golden soft gel matte
S-G. = Golden soft gel semi-gloss
C.L.G. = Golden Clear Leveling gel

Image transfer: C.L.G. gave easiest smoothest transfer.
Harder to do evenly: A.M., G.M., S-G

Overcoat after removing paper:
A.M and G.M: paper mostly white, matte.
V, S-G, C.L.G.: translucent if paper is thin.

More #imageTransfer experiments will follow. I am starting a new thread, which I will update as I progress. (This is a very slow thread because it takes time for things to dry.)
My gel mediums arrived.
I will be trying a test using soft gel semi-gloss, soft gel matt, and clear leveling gel from Golden to try to transfer an ink jet printed image onto glass.
I tried applying it with a brush and with a sponge, and so far, sponge feels easier, so there's my first conclusion!

More #MixedMedia #imageTransfer experiments.
Today, I did a small-scale test with leftover glass and an inkjet printer image. I used my half-dried out Golden acrylic tar gel while waiting to get my hands on fresh acrylic medium.
Tried backing it with a scrap of paper to make the print pop more. I was surprised the transferred image is so translucent that the paper (from some old book) shows too well! I'll have to use more subtle paper next time.
This time, no varnish was used, only tar gel.

Since I currently have #imageTransfer on the brain, I wanted to share the most useful link I have found thus far about different image transfer methods from paper onto various materials.
Denise talks about different possible techniques depending on what the original image type is, as well as what surfaces they can be used on.
That said, I do seem to be having success with the gel medium method and inkjet prints (on glass) despite what the link says.

Day 13 of #JanuaryJoy and #ArtJanuaryCalendar. A page from an as-yet unbound #ArtJournal. The page is a flat paper bag featuring vintage images & text. Once folded in half, it was the perfect size for a folio, yielding 4 pages and a pocket. The stitching is decorative. I used a #LibraryPocket and an altered circulation card. The flowers are from a magazine, but I used a packing tape transfer, rendering them transparent instead of just collaging them. #Flowers #Yoga #ImageTransfer
