Digital photography is very convenient but we often end up with thousands of images on our computers and none of them gracing the walls of our home. Here's a video on how to turn some of those great images into beautiful distressed canvas prints for only a few dollars each.

The tip about wetting the back of the paper before applying it is very good advise for easing the bubbles out of the paper (as opposed to applying it dry and attempting to smooth them out after it is applied.)

@ThunderAbsolute 9 жыл бұрын

Ours didn't quite turn out like hers. It still has quite a bit of paper on the print. If I rub harder or spray more water, it just wants to take the original print off. Going to try just applying a top clear coat to possibly remove the paper hazing.

I have a glossy varnish spray I use on my paintings, you could probably use that after to give it some shiny and protect it from dirt I'll try this though

Thanks for this video! I want to go over a canvas (am bored with the mass produced print that's on it). Do I have to treat the surface with something before I try transferring a photo to it? I'm going to try painting and photo transfer on the same canvas. Just want to know if I have to start with a clean "virgin" canvas or can I recycle the one I'm bored with. Thanks!

Do you wait for the matte to dry before you put the imagine on? Or do you want that still wet?

@axelboice3346 Жыл бұрын

You do it while the Gel Medium is STILL WET! What you want to do is use the foam brush to apply the Gel Medium in clean even strokes covering the entire surface of the canvas. You want to do this quickly and cleanly to ensure that the Gel Medium is still wet, and has not begun to dry or tack up prior to placing the image with your photo printed on it. (I know this comment is a year old, but I figured I would answer for any future viewers who have the same question as you had.)

@midgetsmommy 11 жыл бұрын

When ink gets wet it runs. Laser printers use a plastic like power that is melted onto the paper and will not get ruined when wet.

Liquitex is the brand of the product. Michaels and JoAnn's carry it here in Pittsburgh. It can be found where the oil/acrylic based painted are located.
