Hi Jane, thank you so much for making this video, it was exactly what I was looking for. I was a professional photographer for over 30 years and have lots of beautiful images. These days I paint in watercolor and want to integrate some of my photographs into my paintings. I thought I had some of the materials needed but find I have the thin Matte Medium so looks like I need to go shopping before I start this new adventure. I live in Australia and we can't always buy all the items you have in the USA but I believe I can find the products you used. Thank you once again you make it look like an easy process.
Thin medium should work, Helen! The trick is to brush it on in a thin later and then lay down the transfer (on silk) right away and press it in with a clean wash cloth. DON'T RUB it or it will smear. let it dry and it should be good to go.
@@JaneDunnewold Many thanks for your response Jane. Sorry where does silk come into it; I understood you were working from an inkjet print on paper and then transferring to water color paper.
Thank you! While I have occasionally used various transfer methods over the years, sealing an inkjet lightly with spray first, that I have not tried but am looking forward to being able to use an inkjet! Very useful tip.
Thanks a lot, Jane, especially for this video. I'm a photographer too and I want to try to take my photographs into a new form of experimentation (to interverne them with paint or inkt after transferring them, for example)... I wanted to transfer my inkjet prints to watercolor paper, but I didn't know how! I thought (intuited) that the medium had a main role in the process, but I had a lot of doubts! Also, everyone advised using only laser prints... And I didn't want to, hehehehe. I watched several videos in my search... Thank you very much again! Regards from NY
Wow that’s an unlocking piece of advice, thank you so much. I wonder if I could adapt this to transfer my photos as inkjet prints onto Linoleum, which I’ll certainly try ☺️
Hii Jane, not sure what clear acrylic finish is. Might be a US term. I’m sure we have in Australia but it may be called something else. Hope you can help
It' a spray sold in home repair or paint stores. Polyurethane is an example of a clear coating like this, but the ones we have in the states now are also acrylic, which is a polymer product. I hope this helps.
Hi Jane. This looks really good but I’m unclear on why if you have printed out the image on copy paper to transfer onto watercolour paper then why not just print it out on the watercolour paper. What am I missing here?
Jane I’m confused about your answer. How did organza come into play? If your copy machine will accept heavier paper, why not print directly to w/c paper?
@@barbibarnum I think when she answered she was thinking of another inkjet tutorial she did using a butterfly print where she had attached the organza to the copy paper and printed through it
This is wonderful! Thank you, Jane! Could you let us know the Krylon product # and/or the exact name of the product? They seem to have gloss, satin and then two others that don't say anything about the finish. I use their UV protectant which is matte, but I don't think you mean that one. All the cans look alike :( .
You can put them on fabric but you would have to use Misty Fuse or a fusible web instead of gel medium and then they will NOT be waterproof so if the fabric gets wet the color will run. Inkjet on fabric is NOT stable unless it is coated with gel medium which makes the fabric stiff.
If the fabric is stabilized - like by fusing to a heavier surface. Otherwise the matte medium changes that hand of the fabric too much for my taste. On cloth I would use Mistyfuse.
