Can you do this image transfer to canvas as well as paper?

[CapricornArtist73]

@mjb62235 Yes you can add it to canvas! I have done it several times successfully!

Thanks for the video. I was wondering why you did not just use a brayer tool for an even pressure when going over the transparency? This is what we use in cardmaking.

@Hash4ever You can use a brayer tool but i just like using my fingers lol

Not sure if anyone has asked this yet or not, but can you use this technique to transfer an image to an acrylic plastic panel or is there a better method?

[rdiaz228]

Awesome technique... If you could please make the video a little shorter

Can you use a image from a laser jet printer? Thanks!

@EinsteinsMuse - Hi, acrylic medium and gel medium are often the same thing. What most people use is actually called "acrylic gel medium" which can be glossy or matte. It comes in different weights such as as heavy, regular and soft. Regular is probably a good one to start with. Brands include Golden, Liquitex, or Winsor & Newton. Most art shops will stock these - in Melbourne, try Senior Art Supplies (you can also order online, and they stock Golden products) or Eckersley's. Hope this helps!

Having trouble finding any kind of Gel Medium.. I have found an 'Acrylic Medium' but I think it's for thinning paint. Could you suggest a particular craft store I might try (Melbourne, Australia)?

this worked very good. do you think it would work on a stained surface? i would like to transfer pictures and text onto a a stained table made out of mdf or cabinetry grade plywood. also after the picture has been transferd what do you do about the excess acrylic medium gel? thanks

Transparency paper for inkjets are VERY expensive...in my case it is more expensive than the printer I own. lol
