Coneflower Transfers


This is something I have been thinking of doing for a long time. I love photography and painting and I want to merge the two. This is a photograph that a friend gave me when we were brainstorming this idea and I told her I would try acrylic image transfer and let her know how it worked. I think it worked great!
I used acrylic gel medium to make the image transfer. I them applied it to a watercolor "scrap" from long ago with more gel medium and added acrylic paint over the top. I love the way it turned out. It has a lot of depth.
I have several other transfers in progress and will post a few more over the coming weeks. It does take some time and forethought for this process, but I love experimenting!
