  • Neat.  Looks like good playing art too.

  • thanks Gail.  I'll give it a try.

  • This is really nice - well done to you and Gail!

  • very cool,

  • Hi there - This is Gail - Peter wife - What I use is a gel medium that you can get at any art store - There are many different kinds - but all art store will sell gel medium.   You need to get a photocopy of a picture of a painting. They can be color or black & white photocopies.  Hope this helps.   I like it because once clear coated - the photo transfer lasts very well.   Nice to have my own paintings transferred easily to the CBG. 

  • Peter.  i am really interested in this technique.  What is the exact gel medium? and does the print need to be laser or inkjet?  thanks for the help.  jamie

  • It is a photo transfer of a picture of the painting - photocopy - mirror image - transfer with gel medium right onto the wood.

  • Cool.  When you say photo transfer, what technology do you use?  Like a t shirt transfer?

  • This is actually a photo transfer of a painting that my wife painting - it will be clear coated so it should hold up well.  I think it will wear nicely over time also.  Thanks for the comments.

  • Very nice!  What is your experience with the paint finish holding up against pick scrape?  Just curious.  I think this art would actually still look very good over time, and would age nicely with wear.
