wow, this is awesome! i thought it would be soooo complicated and take forever, but you have come up with such a fast and easy method! thank you so much! i'm definitely going to experiment with this now that i know that pretty much anyone can you it and you don't need a projector or some giant printer like i thought you would.

[@orithfrankel2151]

I admire the irreverent, yet respectful approach you have with your art. The surrounding walls of the amazing images are interesting and fabulous with their sudden pops of colour and unrelated shapes. Love your work because I can relate to it.

[@hollywouldstudios9054]

Thank you! Very well stated and I appreciate your take.

Beautiful artworks. 👌Thanks for sharing your skills. ‼️♥️👌Toom@CapeTown

[@barbaraawalsh7407]

I have a piece of cloth with a Native American design imprinted on it. I plan to have a local print shop duplicate the actual size design. Then I will use your process. Thank you for the great idea. The design will look great on canvas.

[@DrJones-nh4my]

Beautiful

[@MaLiArtworks186]

I love Martha Stewart, too!

[@ninamck4354]

Thanks for this wonderful video. If you are not going to embellish further and only use the photo, would you print in RGB or CMYK, and would you cover with some kind of sealer? Thanks Nina

[@Favilaarts]

Just take a wet rag and wipe the back of the canvas and it will tighten back up! I do it all the time because I move my art all the time and sometimes little rough with my process!

[@jerryy741]

thank you, you have become my inspiration to make a table in the blade runner style... I just need to look for where they print A4 photos with a laser :) and after transferring the photos to the wooden table, do I need to protect it with wood varnish immediately after wiping off the paper or wait a few hours to do so? did the photos dry better? or not wait?

[@Def002]

Stunning work! What kind of paper did you use to print the images?

[@hollywouldstudiosbyhollysu8448]

Regular copy paper is perfect. Laser jet printer only!

[@haerynkim7618]

thank you this is a wonderful tutorial, Some questions I had - Can you use mod podge? What is the canvas material? Do you think muslin fabric could work? How did you get the image resolution so high?

[@gavv1971]

Thanks for sharing, one question; do you any idea would works onto watercolor paper?

[@verushckacizzelle7403]

so many good questions please answer

[@phil1353]

Hi! I’m curious can you use large format poster paper material?

[@kimberlygould5659]

I think revealing only part of the image and leaving some of the paper on would add to the interest of the overall image!

[@Sdefdom]

This is a fabulous technique. Thank you for sharing. Not many artists will give away their secrets. Can this be done to a canvas that already has paint on it?

[@hollywouldstudios9054]

Sure!

[@phil1353]

Can I do this on a painting canvas?

[@gbrown355]

was it inkjet or laser print...

[@AmberCox85]

Can you do this with colored prints?

[@mattvaill3698]

Can you print color images too as long as it is laser jet?

[@sefreg578]

Can I transfer the image onto gesso board? Or does this technique only work on canvas? Thank you, this is amazing 🙌

[@brandonmcneill3635]

Yes! Same process Add a layer of clear gesso to the board before you do your transfer to give it some more tooth to adhere to. I use liquatex clear gesso.

[@gus290651]

What software do you use to split the images in pages

[@lisatroni677]

Hi…do you gesso /prime your canvas first ? 🙏🏼

[@hollywouldstudiosbyhollysu8448]

I use preprimed canvas

[@pamelafickesmiller4368]

Since the Supreme Courts decision last week my concern is regarding the use of others photography. I love your interpretations. Is it enough?

[@hollywouldstudios9054]

A one of a kind art piece is fine. Selling on t-shirts to a big company, not ok ;)

[@saki1206]

How about taking it all the way to the finish?

[@calhampton2603]

Does this only work on blank canvas or could i do it as a last layer over an existing painting ?

[@kkraut]

You can do it over an existing painting

[@Raine1105]

I see you printed this photo out in a self serve FedEx printer, I assume it was an inkjet printer?? but did you use photo transfer paper??? Or regular print paper??? Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing and for answering.

[@MaLiArtworks186]

At home, it is usually have InkJet. At printers, there is usually LaserJet

[@hollywouldstudiosbyhollysu8448]

Always use laser jet. FedEx only has laser jets

[@anikapaldi7161]

The cheaper paper is much easier to work with - heavy paper is a nightmare with this technique.

[@nicolastovar9627]

oh no, I just got pants done with a thick Matt paper. Is it a nightmare to remove or does it simply not work/have the same effect. @@anikapaldi7161

[@ArtathomeNL]

​@anikapaldi7161 do you know if it works on normal inkt prints ?

[@debbydeloach8114]

Can this same technique be used on a glass surface? It’s so very cool!

[@hollywouldstudios9054]

I’m thinking probably not since glass is not porous enough to grab the ink

[@ArtathomeNL]

You can use mod podge foto transfer if you want to do it on glass ...works fine

[@ArtathomeNL]

Has to be laser printed tho

[@vickymadankar2291]

Can i know the paper used for printing photos?

[@hollywouldstudios9054]

Regular copy paper from fedex

[@ColtonAbernathy]

You can always tighten the canvas back up while it’s stretched by pouring hot almost boiling water over the canvas. Although I’m not sure if it would effect the photo transfer..

[@byronbuchanan3066]

it does not need to be hot.... I use room temp water and it works great. hot water can warp the wood stretcher bars.

[@falidagrumpy364]

What material is used to stick the image onto canvas

[@hollywouldstudiosbyhollysu8448]

Golden Matte Medium

[@brandonmcneill3635]

Matte Mod podge works too

[@whitneymunoz8791]

How did you get the pic that big without lowering the quality of the image??

[@hollywouldstudiosbyhollysu8448]

I use a really large file

[@maddogg63]

Quick question...I did a poster print (fed ex office laser) print 18X24 and used mod podge to adhere to canvas all was fine...started removing the paper and the transfer was looking great. Wet it looked awesome colors popping! then next day I did more paper removal and still yet I got paper hazing..I thought I had removed enough paper and clear coated it....but the transfer darkened and still yet paper hazing showing...I wonder if it can be salvaged,saved....Help Me! 🤕 Maybe the poster print paper was to thick????

[@hollywouldstudios9054]

I’ve never used mod podge. Maybe it’s the poster paper …hmmm. Don’t give up!

[@ArtathomeNL]

I had te same thing with the regular mod podge and than I tried it with the foto transfer mod podge and it work alot better

[@ArtathomeNL]

​@@hollywouldstudios9054do you know witch product to use if its a normal inkt print?

[@adaminusch3342]

does it also works with colours or just b&w?

[@hollywouldstudios9054]

It works with color as long as it’s a laser jet print.

[@TheShikaina]

Do you need copyright of the images

[@hollywouldstudios9054]

Not if you are making an original artwork. If you were mass producing then YES

[@pamelafickesmiller4368]

[@eddiedimilano77]

Why don't you use a large 4’x8’ laser printer instead? It's a lot easier than that!

[@denizdernek1822]

not trying to be mean , but the matt medium is not the best way to go with any photo or magazine transfer :s

[@johnmcclean343]

Good grief, theres easier ways to transfer...a huge image.

[@jterry410]

Then upload something

[@paulamachado2548]

Enlighten us plsss🙏🏼

[@johnmcclean343]

@paulamachado2548 Hey Paula, look into alternative photography processes. Do you have a photography background? You can find many trcks in basic film development to find ways to transfer I could explain tricks in my reply but it would be quite lengthy. I developed a handful of " recipes " that I use. Some I combine with other techniques to make transfers. This method isn't bad at all, but it's so repetitive . Take a course at a local community college, and it will open up a new perspective. Good Luck.

[@byronbuchanan3066]

I use to make a living doing this..... it sucks..... I quit and now actually hand draw.... learning how to draw is actually easier than this.

[@arsenioamador2370]

Drawing is a different medium with a different result.

[@hdee5615]

Huge difference between something that is hand drawn and something like this… I actually would much prefer to hang something like this on my wall then hand drawn
