I have a friend who transfers photos to wood. I don’t know his process, but it must be something like this. He doesn’t glue the pictures on top of the wood. The pics become a part of the wood. You can see the grain and knots of the wood in the pictures. His work is beautiful.

[@yaminabourahla2776]

Pour l'autodétermination de transfert sur bous il suffit de mettre de la colle spéciale plaquer la photo choisie laisser une nuit .Le lendemain avec votre index mouillé (éponge) enlever délicatement le surplus papier il reste juste le dessin choisi sur votre structure. IL y a beaucoup de tutos là-dessus c'est très amusant

When you just glue it down, the page just kind of sits on top of the watercolor paper. When you apply it the way she is, the image melds into the substrate. I hope you can understand what I mean.

Wow, this is great! I want to transfer an image of a painting (a cheat sheet) to help me make it easier to paint my first acrylic painting. It is a painting of a vase with flowers in it. I have all of the acrylic paints and all of the other supplies needed to paint the painting, but I am scared to do it without a little help. Should I put a layer of light beige color on my pre primed canvas to make my canvas smoother so that the image won't get snagged on the fibers that are on the pre primed canvas? I don't want to be a quitter, but I have to start off somewhere, even if it seems like cheating a little bit. I 🥰☺️❤️ would really appreciate your help with my question. Thank you so much.

Lots of “lawyers” commenting on this video. Good thing they all know what they’re talking about. 🙄

[@Lindzeeann2uuu]

@@ASDTadpole I work at an IP law firm, so I’ll get right on that. I’m just saying that most people don’t actually know IP law, so whether they’re accidentally correct or not, I’d never take legal advice from the KZbin comment section.

[@Chanson_Dada]

@@ASDTadpole Genuine question. How is this copyright theft? She’s demonstrating a technique not selling the transferred image. I very much doubt she would need a lawyer. If the original photographer took this to their lawyer, which I doubt they would but let’s assume for the moment they did, I think they would be advised to let it go as just not worth the hassle. Assuming of course that the lawyer wasn’t a money grubber who’d exploit the situation. If that was one of my photographs I wouldn’t bat an eye at this as copyright infringement. It’s just a demonstration of a technique.If the image was owned by National Geographic rather than an individual, well seriously it would be like crushing a butterfly on a wheel.

I use mod podge mat. It is a decoupage glue.

[@jennyp4934]

@@OurUpcycledLife thank you for that. That's great information.

[@volkerjanssen7905]

There's an easier way to do it. Use copy paper 90g or 120g and put it on top of the image you wish to transfer. Get a cotton pad and drench it with isopropyl alcohol. The alcohol sips through the paper, dissolves the printing colours which then dry on to the copy paper. The colour will not come of as crisp as it is on the printed page but it will have a ghostly distressed look. It works great on coloured elephant paper eg. for handwritten letters.

For personal use or as gift without copyright issues : 1) I scan the image on my scan / printer machine .2) I take a plain white tissue paper and use one of the ply to adhere it to a sheet of regular copy paper ( Adhere only the edges of the napkin against the copy paper for easy remove ) . 3) I am taking the adhered ply of napkin to my printer , place it into the paper tray and proceed to print the image out . 4) When done printing , I would separate the napkin from the copy sheet and with the help of white carpenter diluted glue , mod podge or transfer paste I would glue it and paste it against the selected surface . Once you get the hang of it you would not stop using the method or at least this is happened to me 😁😅 As for those crying out loud copy right infringement , maybe you guys should get your facts right because anyone can use any image and include it in any form of arts and crafts as long is the ORIGINAL one and hasn't been COPIED , hence the name of it "copy right " .
