Online Art Magazine - Live Studio: Image Transfer Techniques. I love image transfers sometimes using them as the focal image and other times just to add some zing to an art piece.
An image transfer is, to put it simply, the act of transferring an image from one source to another. Depending upon what material you are wanting to transfer onto will depend on what type of transfer method you want to use. What I love about transfers as opposed to just taking the image itself and gluing it down, is the transparent effects you can get from transfers-- allowing you to layer images or let the surface design show through. i.e. as a patterned fabric or woodgrain.
I love how permanent the final outcome can look as if it has been there forever or was printed or painted on as opposed to just glued. Depending on the method, some transfers create a lovely aged and distressed image due to the natural imperfection of the technique. Supplies: Here are some common supplies that are needed depending on the type of transfer.
