It’s funny you did this vid 4yrs ago and I just started working with my laser along with fractal burning and this opens a whole new area I never knew could be done thanks for this inspiration.
I just got my engraver, still setting up the location in my house, and you videos have just filled me with ideas!! Thank you so much for sharing these tips. Can't wait to get burnin'!! LOL
This has been SOOO helpful, I have a ton of artwork that I've made on paper that I want to burn on different surfaces and this is the first video I've seen that shows how to do it on canvas and with color. Thank you!
I like that you let the paint dry on it's own terms, it's made to do that and some sheens, lusters, colors just don't develop as well if you rush it. Very nice.
Thank you. Just unboxed my D1 a week ago. Your instruction was super solid and I'm now on my way to having my first completed "hero" piece done. Seriously great instructions!!!!!
Dude! Love the vid and thanks for the idea. Never thought about using canvas. This just opened up a whole world of possibilities. Guess I'll be spending time at hobby lobby tomorrow to give this a shot.
Get a two part epoxy coating mix and pour it over the top about 1/16 thick.. fills the canvas grains and creates a smooth deep colored artwork. Try it... you'll like it... Make sure you level it first.
Great job. Awesome technique. One thing I do when I hang light weight items like that, i use push pins in the wall. Leaves a smaller hole that can be covered up the next time the wall is painted.
1. It is not easy man 😅 Maybe it is easy for you 2. The whole process takes too much time. So it seems not viable. 3. The costs. So the price of the end product will be high due the costs. So with these costs how can one sell this great end product? 4. This could be an awesome hobby.
Your laser content is really great. I just got my Ready2Laser 7 watt diode laser. It's enclosed and I'm working on getting it vented outside. I haven't done much with it yet but I can definitely see me trying some tiles. I may try your system on some painted wood too.
I have canvases sitting around from the "poured acrylic" painting phase I never quite got started with after buying the stuff. LOL. So, this, I can do. Awesome.
I have no idea what you just did, but, I love it. This was in my recommended, so, I watched. I'm sure I'll never do what you do, but, your video was very enjoyable. 😁👍🏻❤
Very handy tutorial. Got this saved to my Personal Laser Playlist- just gotta get some spray-paint and I'll be ready to experiment- really looking forward to it!
If you resize the image after ImagR you wont get 1 pixel-line per line as it will be too many pixel-lines for the size. Resize in ImagR instead and it will work as intended (higher quality).
Dude! The little option to change it to Norton tile and have it change up the image like that is great info. I've been wondering how people easily render an image like that. I have no graphic skills. Thanks man! I'm subscribed and will watch more!
This really is an awesome technique and i am definitely going to do this. I also wanted to sell these but then i realized that there are people digital printing on canvas 😢 Cannot compete with that 😢
I'm very much impressed! Have you done more colors? For example, like a colorful Hawaiian sunset or A beautiful scene of Tropical fishes in the ocean?. It's probably possible but much more work is required eh? You did a great job of opening the door for me on Laser Art. Mahalo!
Great stuff. But I have to ask; where did you get that FM radio voice? I always feel like you are getting ready to start DJing the Rock and Roll Top 40. You could be the next Kasey Kasem.
It is fantastic. I keep watching over and over again. I have learned that laser reacts with zinc oxide that is in the paint to produce black color. I wonder how you get these astonishing colors. I appreciate your kind reply.
Just found your channel. So neat and it’s convinced me a laser cutter engraver is how I’m going to revive a dead 3D printer (3-4mm bed bow no replacement parts, already crappy) I have several questions, feel free to answer only some of them 1. What should I google to get more info on this technique 2. Is there a limit to how many different colors you can use 3. Is there a power floor/ceiling this works with? I’m thinking of getting an L cheapo mk7 which has a lot more power? 4. Have you found any medium(paint or surface) this won’t work on? Subscribed! Great work!
Hi! I get a lot of my info from the facebook groups I am in. I would find some of those to start! You can do as many colors as you want in and fashion that you want. So they don't have to be overlapped, the colors could be next to each other too! This should work with any diode laser, but you may have to adjust power and speed. Also, maybe several passes may need to be used.
I am totally new to the world of laser engraving and stumbled across your video doing some research on what can be done. I have an Ortur 20W headed my way and your video is exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking to do. Absolute golden example!
Dude! Your videos on the lasers are inspiring and so fun to watch. My laser is on its way from China and I can't wait for it to get here and get started on some stuff! Git Some Ye-Haw!
Hey Jim, I know this video has been out for a while, but I just got my laser engraver in November. Ortur laser master 3 10w. I painted up a canvas, and made a tear area on a second one to find the magic number. I actually had to stop the test and drop the max power down even lower, and it turned out to be 3.5% max power. Do you remember if you had to go that low on canvases? I know your ceramic tiles are around 15% from your other video, so I thought this was really really low for some reason.
Amazing tutorial, amazing work there. You helped me a lot putting my things together man. I just need to ask how the tile compares to canvas and how is it possible the settings to be the same considering the materials which are they made from? Is it something with the paint coating?
I have 3 different clear coats in my garage and they all bubble a lot and don't coat evenly. Got the one you recommended in this video today and it's amazing.
I just test every time. You just never know when a paint is going to be different or what colors you want. So for me it's easier to paint the colors I'm going to use in the order. I'm going to use them and then do a quick test.
hello! great ideas u have. can u tell what did you choose regarding the type of material on ur laser? basswood, bamboo, leather, acrylic, etc.? thank you!
Man, thank you for your video!! I’m new to engraving, rocking an XTool D1 and I tried your white canvas technique. Turned out pretty good for my first time! Thanks again!!
Thank u so much for this video! U explain thing so well and very thorough. I did have one ?. When working with paint while burning; does it get all over your laser? If so, how do u clean it? Sorry for any dumb questions, lol I’m a newby here and literally just got my diode laser today and haven’t even set it up yet! :)
Where does the yellow of the fire come from? I see a white canvas, then orange spray, red then black. Is the yellow fire and whip coming from a mix of colours? Awesome work by the way!
Trying my hardest to find your “magic numbers” video that helps with aligning! A link to that would be awesome. I’m a newbie and trying to soak up all the info I can!
Very cool! A spot in the middle of my 4K TV (after burning through a flame resistant screen) is the only thing I've burned with my 3 watt RGB projectors. I'll try this instead. Looks far more rewarding. 🙂
Anymore videos planned bro, coz they are epic and yours are the most informative. Looking forward to the next one. You'll really help me on my amateur journey bro
Thank you! At the slow speed I went it took about 5 hours. You could speed it up and turn up the power to go faster, but do some testing before you do that. Thanks for watching!
This maybe a newbie question but. When doing colors how do you determine the order to apply the colors or does it matter. Great channel and I’ve learned a lot in a short time. Thank you
Well done video. Last one I watched (band logo on tile) I was muttering about using a water based top coat to stop the reaction and boom here it is. Great change. Question that’s been asked but not answer a few times. Burn time on the 10x10 canvas?
Great tutorial! I tried it out on wood though (a winecase, sprayed 2 layers red and 2 layers black and burned a picture on it) and found the power setting extremely fiddley, 2% power change steps was enough to burn through none, first or both layers. And that reveals any unevenness in the sprayed layers. Is the canvas more forgiving?
I just found your channel. I am thinking of doing this when I retire in 2 years for extra income. Have you tried doing this with photographs? Photography has been a hobby of mine for over 40 years and I was wondering if incorporating some of my photos into this technique would be a viable.
Hey Jim I watched this video an heard you say with the latest Lightburn upgrade you can do your editing there. Would you mind doing a video for that and can you do it on a CO2 laser?
That is awesome ! Will the Creality blue/violet laser engraver produce anything close to that quality ? I am so tempted ! Your creating so many different areas of creativity, I'm spoiled for choice. How do you find any time ? Lol
Good question! You should be able to do some of this with that laser. It's just a very small wattage version of this. I have one, I should try it! And, I am not sure how I find time. No sleep lol JK Thanks for watching!
Hi, I watch your amazing videos and learn so much about working with my ORTUR OLM PRO S2 laser. I have this video and I want to ask you about the canvas and the colorful spray. What type of canvas do you use and what color spray do you use? As I already understood, these two materials are very flammable and also the paint spray is very toxic if burned or heated. Should you use cotton or synthetic canvas? I will appreciate your answers. Thanks a lot for all of your great videos.
Hi Jim, I really enjoy your videos. I have a question. i Have a Laser Master Pro 2 and use Lightburn. When you set your power to 50% my machine does not show any engraving so I set my power to 90% to engrave. Does the laser lose power over time with extended use? My machine is just over 9 months old or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for sharing. I am totally new to this, I have a Neje 2 2S /Max and I am wondering about the settings in both ImagR (material) and Lightburn on a painted piece of plywood and transfer of a photo?
Is that Balrog (is that the demons name?) Gandolf Battling this Evil Foe in the Mines of Moria. But if I'm wrong, you still brought up some great early 80s book memories for when I was 12; So Thanks for that!👍😉🇨🇦
Well, you said to put it in the comments what the scene was, then not long after you spill the beans about it anyways! Lol. At least dimentia hasn't kicked in on me just yet🤔
I really enjoy your videos. I have a 70w COO and I'm trying to tiles and canvas but I'm having trouble getting the colors under the black to come thru. They seem to blend with the black. Any ideas?
Your laserhead seems to be very high above the material, is that how is it supposed to be or is it ok to use the focus tool that comes with the machine?
You definately inspired me! Thanks for this one. Canvas, never thought of that but it is AWESOME! One question: Did you use the magic numbers from the ceramic tile? Or made you tests on canvas too?
Honestly I used the ones I got from the tile. But I would suggest getting a small 3x3 canvas and doing some testing on it before going bigger. It will save your project in the end.. Trust me.. LOL Thanks for watching!
I know this is a few weeks late and will get buried, but does doing this put off fumes from burning the paint? I know on lots of materials you need ventilation, how bout this? been thinking about getting the ortur as it seems to be the best quality for price right now, but I don't have a garage or a ventilated area to use it, unless I sit it out on my balcony while it's in operation. Also would you need the 20w version or would the lower watt versions still work this well?
Hey! I would always recommend ventilation for a laser. Burning anything puts out fumes and breathing them isn't good for you. Also, if you just wanted to do things like this and not worry about cutting, the lower watt versions would be fine!
@@TheEdgeofTech Thanks for the reply and the info! I'm debating if saving up the extra $100 for the 20w vs 7w is worth it. I'm thinking yes. I was originally planning on using it to make layered shadowbox designs with paper or very thin wood/plastic/acrylic. I just happened to see this video and think it's an awesome concept!

No, get gud scrub
