Artists from the past and present have often used images taken from existing materials such as magazines, postcards, old books, photocopies, and more to enhance their artwork. There now exists a multitude of transfer techniques available to artists.

In this six-hour workshop you will learn to transfer images from various sources such as magazines, photographs, and ink or laser jet images onto cradled wood board and canvas utilizing transfer paper. Many of the transfers created in this workshop can be incorporated into other images. We will explore various methods of layering images using acrylic paint, stamps, and other mixed media to create dimensional effects.

*** Please note actual images will not be destroyed, instructor will be using images participants have selected, and these will be printed on instructor-provided transfer paper.

We Will Cover:

Transferred images and their application in art
Legal and ethical aspects of using images created by others
How to transfer an image to canvas and cradled wood board using transfer paper (supplied by instructor)
How to layer your images to create an illusion of depth
Color, contrast, design and composition of images
How to use, acrylic paint, fabric, stamps, and other mixed media to further enhance your images

IMPORTANT!!! PLEASE READ!!!

Participants will need to select photos/images that will fit on an 8.5 x 11 sheet of copy paper. All images or photos need to be high contrast, meaning clear borders between light and dark areas.
