Experimenting with transferring ink jet prints onto glass.

So far, it's been a challenge.

I couldn't find my glass cutter.

And almost all my acrylic gel mediums have dried out.

So I'm trying to use Amsterdam acrylic medium 117, and Golden clear tar gel side-by-side. Sadly, the tar gel jar was half-dry as well, but my first impression is that it worked better than the liquid medium.

I'm letting them dry for now and will decide whether to try putting varnish on them tomorrow or keep rubbing.

More #MixedMedia #imageTransfer experiments.

Today, I did a small-scale test with leftover glass and an inkjet printer image. I used my half-dried out Golden acrylic tar gel while waiting to get my hands on fresh acrylic medium.

Tried backing it with a scrap of paper to make the print pop more. I was surprised the transferred image is so translucent that the paper (from some old book) shows too well! I'll have to use more subtle paper next time.

This time, no varnish was used, only tar gel.
