Transfer your photos onto canvas to create your own original art.
If have a photograph -- or even an image from the Internet -- that would make a great piece of canvas art, you don't have to pay for expensive canvas printing. You can transfer any image directly to canvas yourself with a few easy-to-find materials and tools. Creating canvas art from photographs is particularly satisfying and enjoyable when you complete the project yourself -- and you will save money along the way. With the right preparation, you can make your own canvas art from photographs at home in an afternoon.
Instructions
1. Photocopy the photograph or image you'd like to transfer to canvas. Avoid images containing text, as the final image will be reversed on the canvas. Do not complete this step until you are ready to transfer; fresh photocopies work best for this project.
2. Place the photocopy, image-side down, on top of the canvas. Secure it in place with tape.
3. Rub the back of the photocopy with your blender pen, using firm, regular strokes. Be sure to cover the entire image.
4. Use the back of the spoon to apply pressure to the photocopy. Working in small circles, carefully cover the entire image area.
5. Peel up one corner of the photocopy to check the quality of the image transfer. If it is too light, re-wet with the blender pen, and re-apply pressure with the spoon.
