Art Techniques with Matisse Derivan - Photo Transfers

[StudioKlinic7]

Extra thanks for addressing the archival nature of this technique. That kind of info is often very difficult to find.

[theomeow]

very interesting!

[MatisseDerivan]

you can use many differrent printers - the easiest way to check is to take a wet cloth and rub the print- if the ink bleeds easily then it will not work! if it doesn't then it will probably be fine

can I use an inkjet print for this to work? Thanks.

[MatisseDerivan]

hi it is Matisse medium MM7 polymer gloss varnish

[rianoalejo]

Good instruction. Could write the name of liquid transfer?...I can't read the brand in the bottle.

[bigkea]

Darn good instruction. Thank you.

[anko8aug]

nice

hi. if the color is not light fast, what do u advice to paint over it to fasten the color? will a coat or two of clear gell be good for that? thanks

[MatisseDerivan]

sorry there however there is no real way to make something light fast other than to keep it out of direct sunlight!

Will this work on tile?

[MatisseDerivan]

yes it shoudl be fine on a tile ....however only for decorative purposes - you couldn't use the tiles for a bench top

[LiveAndInPerson]

I have been trying to find you all over Youtube!!!!!

[LiveAndInPerson]

You know what I think I like about this is it's a little like a polaroid transfer without the film, without figuring how to make that machine I have take a slide.....

[LiveAndInPerson]

Would this work with color photographs?

[paddomatisse]

It will not work with a photograph however you can colour photocopy the photograph and use that- the varnish "sucks up" the ink - so there must be ink present on the image you use

Hello! thanks for the vid. really cool if can get it to work. i have a quick question for you. after three to four coats of the polymer gloss varnish and set to dry over night i still cant seem to seperate the paper and the varnish? Are my coats to thin? How thick of the varnish should each coat be? Thanks!!

[paddomatisse]

the resultant layer of varnish needs to be quite thick - thicker than "cling wrap" for instance-you may need to let it soak in the water for some time - a few hours - before it softens the paper up enough that it is easy to get off

Hey! thanks for the video! have been looking for a product like this for quite sometime...I just got some Matisse products last week, hope the same place stocks this stuff too...

just a quick question, will this work on a porcelain surface?? (a flat white dish to be more precise)

Thanks in Advance!

[paddomatisse]

there is no reason it will not stick to porcelain -however only as a decorative finish-you could not use it on say a dinner plate (which is used all the time)
