Technique Tuesday!
Here’s the image that I started with for this piece:
It wasn’t high resolution or anything: just a pretty picture. I used Golden’s Digital Ground White, and stroked it onto a piece of waxed paper, adding a few layers until the piece was covered where I planned to print. The image printed out quite well, and stayed a bit wet for awhile. I didn’t worry about that, though, since I planned to do a transfer. The transfer was made onto plain white copy paper, using the instructions for a basic paper image transfer.
Wow. Another great project/ technique to try. This came out so beautiful and the texture is fantastic!
Thanks Christy! Never in a million years did I ever think we’d be able to print out on waxed paper!
I can’t wait to try this out! I think it would work great for homemade greeting cards!
I think it would give a greeting card a really beautiful impressionist look
