Great Image transfer technique with acrylic paint

January 23, by Stefanie Girard. Leave a Comment

Image transfer techniques can be used to transfer an image from one surface to another, and they can be a fun and creative way to add a personal touch to your projects. One image transfer technique that is similar to silk screening is image transfer with acrylic paint.  

Here are some more detailed instructions to help guide you.

To do this, you’ll need a printed image, some acrylic paint, and a surface to transfer the image onto (such as canvas, wood, or paper). You’ll also need a brayer or roller to apply the paint and a scraper or credit card to smooth out the paint and remove any excess.

Here’s a general outline of the process:

  1. Place the printed image face down on your work surface.
  2. Apply a thin layer of acrylic paint over the top of the image, using the brayer or roller to spread the paint evenly.
  3. Carefully place the surface you want to transfer the image onto over the top of the painted image.
  4. Use the scraper or credit card to smooth out the surface and remove any excess paint.
  5. Allow the paint to dry completely.
  6. Once the paint is dry, gently peel the surface away from the image. The image should now be transferred onto the surface.

This image transfer technique is similar to silk screening in that it involves applying paint over an image and then transferring the image onto another surface. However, unlike silk screening, this technique can be done with just a few basic supplies and does not require a special screen or press.

You can see the original tutorial here: tutorial on image transfer with acrylic paint.

I bet you could make a cool set in all different colors of paint with the same image and it would look like an Andy Warhol.
