twee #gelliprints van gister, eentje een #imagetransfer van een boek over tegels, de andere met een embossing sjabloon

ik heb een tutorial geschreven over #imagetransfer op de #gelliplate
ik maak bijna elke #collage op een achtergrond van #gelliprints

staande collage in onregelmatige vakken verdeeld in beige, groene en violette tinten, op de achtergrond een image transfer waarop cowboys te zien zijn, over het midden een strook violet vloeipapier, links een groen vlak met een goudgele deur met daarin een mollig kind dat de hand opsteekt, daaronder een paars vlak met silhouetten van bomen, rechts een groen vlakje met een gouden schedel, daaronder een violet vierkant met drie kerkramen en daarboven een soort vis

gister wat mooie #gelliprints gemaakt met #ImageTransfer

My final artworks for my graded unit. A series of 4 artworks highlighting 4 of the most critically endangered species on the planet. And to raise awareness of world Endangered Species Day on 16th May. Only 10 left of the poor Vaquita 😢.

Collage and image transfer with gold paint on a1+ size boards.

A lot of work and i gave myself such a hard time throughout this process. I loved doing it and learned alot about the creatures during my research. Though enjoyed it but picking faults even now 😆. Such is the life of an artist i believe 😆

Polaroid image transfer (1993)

Not an emulsion lift but an image transfer of a Polaroid 669 or 665 film. These one is from 1993

Another mixed media transfer painting using a found photo. This one was gifted to a lovely friend of mine.

An oldie of mine from my experimentations with image transfers. As I was working on it, my brush slipped and smeared over her face, and I wound up loving how that looked. This led to me exploring obscuring faces and parts of faces in my art.

Inkjet image transfer on canvas, acrylic paint and charcoal.

Abstract waxed fabric collage sewn with very rough stitches for texture

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!

A hasty collage with a flower sticker, wrapping paper, washi tape, and candy wrapper, an old book page and an image transfer of a tree. At the top, there's a wax seal with the letters AE in monogram format.

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.

An "antiqued" cream-colored key cabinet with a glass door, on which is an image of a dragonfly, fruit, and flowers, as well as some text in Latin. There is a subtle golden effect showing through in some places.
Description from original source: "This dragonfly was used to illustrate some Latin Calligraphy from Mira Calligraphia Monumenta, and painted by Joris Hoefnagel."

🧵 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.

The results of the experiment, which show results like mentioned in the post. Some areas are more translucent and glossy, others are matte and if you look really closely in real life, you can see the white of the paper more clearly giving a cloudy effect on the back of the glass

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!
#MixedMedia
🧵 1/?

The back of a printed paper, glued with medium onto a piece of glass which is not visible because it's obscured by the paper.
The middle and bottom of the paper is more transparent than the top, and an image of fish and aquatic plants in an art nouveau style can be glimpsed.

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.

An impractical experiment. A bookmark-shaped piece of glass, behind which can be seen a delicate printer-printed image of flowers, and then an old book page with some random text in Finnish about peace on earth.

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.
