I did this years ago. It doesn't matter how you print the image. You can take any picture, even cut one from a magazine. It's the stuff you put on it that makes it work. Some of the comments complaining or even asking for you to hold their hand are annoying. I appreciate you giving this content to us free of charge.
Haha very true😂thankyou … Im glad you appreciated the video 😜❤️🙌
Quels sont les fournitures pour travailler,rien que du bla.bla.beaucoup musique assourdissante
❤ that tearing of the edges! Thanks for the clear instructions, I will be implementing this method for my photos! 🎉🎉
awesome! Im glad you enjoyed it!!! ☺❤
LOVE the cardboard box idea for heat setting! 🎉
Haha… thanks… yes it’s gold lol 😂
Brilliant idea from the hair salon :) I loved it, too. Watching from the USA. Great video!
@@isabelamacavei8418 Thanks ☺🎨🎨
Wonderful technique! Thank you for sharing such a great idea. Blessings to you and your family!🌸
You're welcome ☺ Im glad you enjoyed it!!! 🎨🎨
Thank you, Ashley. I found your instructions clear and concise
Proper top tips here. I especially like the hairdryer box!
Awesome I’m glad you enjoyed it ☺️
This was so fun to watch, and great instruction as to how to do a photo transfer. Thank you so much for sharing this technique! And .. I love your White Rabbit & chess piece necklace with your very cool Mad Hatter hat too!! 💖
Thank you☺ Im so glad you enjoyed it... I appreciate your feedback! Haha... my necklace was made by a friend of mine 😜and I love my Mad hatter hat too :) thanks 🤣🤣🤣🎨
@@powertexaustralia9230 Wonderful pieces! Was the necklace made of polymer clay perhaps? Or some other medium? It's so fun and beautiful! ❣

Awesome! 🎉☺️
You are just lovely giving us all these nice ways to apply on our own way of imagination.Thank you.Keep well.THOMAS FROM FRANCE.
Thank you ... Im glad you enjoyed it
As an adaptation to this have you tried using water slide decals printed with a pigment inkjet printer or laser printer? It gets rid of the rubbing stage and possibly the coats of glue on the canvas and the transparent decal. A spray sealant might be a better overcoat. Of course the other option is to get a large inkjet printer that can print to canvas. For smaller letter/legal size inkjet printers there is printable canvas & fabric sheets usually found in craft stores. Use some tiling/poster software to split a single large image into smaller sections. This would allow you to create the look of a larger piece using existing printers.

I do agree I had a hard time hearing you but love your hat! Very classy👍
Haha... thank you 😜❤
Loved the video!! Didn't even notice the music background🎶🎶
Awesome 👏 thankyou
I did . . . was very distracting . . . .cut the volume back by half . . . .PLEASE not trashing just was to much
That was really awesome I want to try that out. Thank you I really enjoyed and learned something. ☝🏽❤️🙏🏽
Excellent Im glad you enjoyed it ☺🎨Thanks for your feedback 😜
Wow never seen this technique. THANKS
In a word.... WOW!
Thank you 😜 Im glad you enjoyed it 🎨🎨🎨
This is great fun. I actually had a go at this myself about three or four years ago when I took a photograph of my furry friend s black and white Tuxedo Cat. I used a system called Modge Podge, which produces similar results also requiring the use of water and a cloth as you describe in your demonstration.
Doing stuff like this can be very cathartic and rewarding and is an amazing fun pastime. Love this video.💯🌞
Awesome! Yes it is great fun! Thanks for watching 😜🎨🎨
❤❤❤vgjj
Love ❤️ it thanks for the sharing 😀
Thank you ... Im glad you like it ☺
Very nice and useful video!
Thank you
Glad it was helpful! 😁🌸
Thanks for the good information!
I loved this video and would like to know if I can use mod podge as the medium transfer, because I´ve got it. Sorry I complained about the loud music when I first saw the video but as a beginner I didn´t want to miss out on important information. This time everything was perfect and you´ve got a new subscriber.
Awesome... Im glad you enjoyed it second time around! Mod Lodge isn't a medium I've used.... you could try it.... 😜🎨
This is a wonderfully informative video. I'm wondering if this technique could be done over a seasoned acrylic pour?🥰
I definitely try it... it would be really interesting... it would need to be on a light-coloured pour thats not too textured 😜There is a way of transferring onto textured surfaces with the medium 😜
Beautiful arts .
Thank You; we appreciate you/Motown/Detroit Checking In/n/s!!!
Excellent work,
Thank you
Thank you so much for this video, incredibly interesting and enlightening. One question: can I transfer onto some other surface, say for example Ampersand Claybord? I'm gonna buy this stuff immediately!!! And subscribed!
Hey thanks... Im glad you enjoyed it... I havent tried it on Ampersand Claybord... I would test it on a small surface... Ampersand is quite absorbent so you'd have to work quickly... get used to the process on something guaranteed to give you good results ... I usually get people to do their first one (A5)on a small piece of aluminium off cut from the printers discarded signs - its less absorbent so you dont have to work as quickly... you just have to take care removing the paper backing as the surface is slippery - I hope thats helpful... enjoy! 😜
This is really cool. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Very beautiful work 👌👌💗💗👋😄
Thank you 🙏❤️
Thank you ... I might give it a go!
Excellent... enjoy ☺🎨🎨
Very interesting, thank you for the video
Youre welcome ☺ Im glad you enjoyed it!
I like your out fit especially the hat lol
Seriously are very talented.
Thank you 🙏 thats very kind ☺
nice What a stunning piece of art
Thank you ☺ Im glad you enjoyed it ❤
Very Enjoyable, thank you,,,I really didn't notice any background music,,,
Thank you ☺ Im glad you enjoyed it 🎨🎨🎨
Great video, thank you very much for sharing your talent.🙂,,
Im glad you enjoyed it... thanks for your feedback ☺
Thank you so much for this video! Can you apply a thin coat of acrylic paint first for the background?
You're welcome... Im glad you enjoyed it! ☺ You need to seal the canvas with gesso or Powertex Ivory or white... then yes you could use acrylic (light colours) before transferring the image - the colour will come through where the photo is white 😜🎨
Coucou ... merci pour la démo .. super !!! Que doit on prendre comme papier, je crois que l'on ne peut pas faire avec une photo, papier photo ?? ❤❤
This is what the internet is for someone that is really good at this and she is. showing how to do this is great and this young lady is beautiful 💋💋. I hope my English was okay iam not from England ooohhhh nnooo. Iam from the Nederlands 😂😂. Love you all.
Thank you Im glad you enjoyed it!
Merci! It was interesting and easy to understand. Yes music toi l'Oud. What liquide do you use at first ?
Powerprint Laser transfer medium from Powertex Art Supplies 🌸😆
Great clear instructions, I'm giving it a shot.
Small suggestion - you really don't need background music....
Awesome... enjoy ☺🎨🎨🎨 thanks for the feedback 😉
Excellent tutorial. Thank you! Could I use a poster onto untreated canvas?
Thank you ☺I think a poster would be too thick for the transfer process... I recommend starting small to get used to the process (A5) and experiment with layering and/or jigsawing images together from A4... have FUN!
Great video, do you have links to the products?
Great video!!
Thank you Im glad you enjoyed it 😜
Thank you im going to try it
excellent! Enjoy ☺🎨🎨🎨
Thank you for sharing. Cape Town ❤️
You're welcome... thanks for watching 😜🎨
Thanks a lot for the tutorial!!! I have a question. Can I apply a photo to the canvas with texture paste or plaster, or with acrylic paint. Or does the canvas have to be absolutely clean? Thank you.
Hey there... you can certainly experiment! I find it doesn't transfer as well to textured surfaces however you can overlay the image over light coloured surfaces e.g. black & white - where the image is white there is no ink so the acrylic painted layer will come through creating a ghost image
love the tutorial thank you! can you paint over it with an oil paint?
you're welcome... Im glad you enjoyed it! ... yes you can
Owe sum Art, easy to learn lesson, be blessed
Thank you... Im glad you enjoyed it ☺🎨
Beautiful artwork❤ dear friend❤
Thank you ☺❤
I had to like this video just because of your gorgeous hat ❤
haha... thank you ❤🎨🎨🎨
Good. Simple. Doable. No fuss task. Great demo. Great Gift Idea. Thank you.
Awesome! Im glad you enjoyed it ☺🎨
I. Couldn't. Agree. More. With. You. !.
Thank you!
You're welcome... Im glad you enjoyed it 😜🎨
All the mediums that were used are sold in Australia. We have different but equivalent ones here in the USA.
Soft gel gloss can be substituted for the transfer medium mentioned. Gloss medium can be used instead of the over coat mentioned
Hey Janet...all the mediums are available in Australia..Acrylic gloss medium works well to finish (like Easycoat Glossy)... I prefer Powerprint for the photo transfers though... you should be able to get it in the US ☺❤ soft gel medium does work... it just comes down to personal preference... 😜🎨
Would Mod Podge work?
@@melindadavis920 I believe so... but I haven't used it ☺ test it and see how you go 😜🎨🎨
Hello Thanks for this nice video. Is it a laser or inktjet copy that I have to use to do this proces. Txs in advance.
You’re welcome… ☺️I’m glad you enjoyed it… you’ll need a laser print
@@powertexaustralia9230 thank you so much
Nice painting
Thank you 🙏😊
The concept is fantastic, but I'm annoyed at having found a craft that is going to take up my time!! (Just Funnin!) I found Ashley's instruction was plain and simple, without going confusing at all. Her instruction was concise & didn't go off to another tangent. I'm chomping at the bit to have a go!!
Haha 😜 thanks... Im glad you enjoyed it!!! Have FUN!!!🎨🎨🎨🎨
Where can I buy this product such as glows and glossy?
Ilove it really ❤❤
Thank you so much!
You’re welcome ☺️
beautiful my friend❤
Thankyou Im glad you enjoyed it😜🎨🎨🎨
Beautiful
Thank you 🙏🙏❤️
c'est super géniale très bonne découverte vous collez la photo à la colle ou autre merci beaucoup bonne journée
Hey Im glad you enjoyed it! The medium is Powerprint from Powertex Art Supplies ☺🎨🎨🎨
amazing ❤️😍
Thank you… I’m glad you enjoyed it 🥰
Great video. Do you remember the specific brand of paper and cloth you used to do this? I tried this recently and the paper kept getting torn.
Hey... Thanks... Im glad you enjoyed it! ☺️ Just use regular photocopy paper 80-100GSM and an open weave cloth (like "Chux" wipe in Australia)... if the paper is tearing and the print isn't transferring the medium may be drying before you've transferred it to the new surface... you need to ensure you have enough medium and that you work quickly to ensure it doesn't dry during the process. Please dont hesitate to ask me anything else if this isn't clear 😜🎨
@Noah G. First it is important to use a good quality paper to print your image on.
Next, there are Two reason why the paper will tear.
One) insufficient moisture or too much. The paper needs just enough to damp the surface and wait a minute or two to allow absorption. You will be able to see some of the image showing through the back of the photo image. If the moisture is damped enough.
Two) rubbing gently and lightly to remove the backing paper while still moist. Dampen again if drying to quickly.
Start running from the centre and work gently towards the edges making sure that the pressure you apply is minimal.
This should help you achieve a good result and not tear the image. Remember to be gentle.
I was trying to hear / understand what you said you pour into the canvas?
Sounded like Pow Print Transfer?
Thank you 🌌❣️
Youre welcome ☺
Best video!
Thanks Michelle 😊I’m really glad you enjoyed it ❤🎉❤🎉
Hello, I really enjoyed your video! Do you know if I can, do a photo transfer with Dura-Lar Matte Film paper?
Hey Ale… thankyou … I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️I’m not familiar with the brand of photo paper but generally photo paper is too thick… it needs to be copy paper 80-100GSM 😊🌸I hope that helps …
LOOOOVE Your Hat
Also your art
Thank you ☺❤
Thank you so much for this amazing video. I appreciate it very much. Very detailed and explained. Easy to follow.
***May I ask what kind of photo to start with?
Is it ink jet copied on photo paper? Thank you for taking the time to answer.
I know there are a lot of questions being asked.
***PS. I always use captions just so I don’t miss any information. It’s nice you offer that option, many do not. TY
Hey Raine... its a laser print on copy paper 80-100 GSM (not inkjet)... you can get them done at you local print shop and the quality is really good for transferring... it's a LOT of FUN to play with 😜🎨🎨🎨🎨 enjoy creating!
What is the material you glued the photo to the canvas, and where I could buy it from with many thank. It is great technique
Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it! 😊the medium is Powerprint… within Australia you can purchase from Powertex Australia… you will find more details in the description😊
Great info! Do you know of an equivalent product I would search for here in Canada? What was your blow dryer heat setting hi/lo? Does the canvas need to cool down before wiping the paper off? Is there a certain type of canvas or would a Dollar Tree canvas do? ($20 vs $1.25) Thanks again
Hey there… Powerprint should be available in Canada… 😉the hairdryer was on hot and high … yes I usually allow it to cool down… any canvas is fine… if it’s cheap be sure to wash it down with warm soapy water / allow to dry then gesso… an alternative for gesso is to coat the canvas with Powertex universal medium 😆ENJOY 🌸🎨
The music is so annoying… why are you drowning yourself out? And this is an ad for your product? How is it different than using matte medium….
This technique can works in clothes too?
Thank you for the video! I actually didn't notice the music due to me having some jazz on in the background ✨😅
Awesome! You're welcome... Im glad you enjoyed it ☺
You can paint over the photo with acrylic colors or oil? Thank you for share this video💐💐💐
Yes ❤enjoy…
Is the Powertex an adhesive of some type?
Great!
Hi what kind of photo are you using? Is it from a magazine? Or a photocopy one can do from a normal printer? Thanks.
Love your hat by the way 🤗
The photo is a laser print (colour photocopy) on 100gsm paper… you need a laser print not inkjet 😜enjoy… 😊
Hey... You are very creative 👍 can you please share products details.
Ink
Paper type
Canvas type?
Thanks in advance🤗
Thankyou 🙏 the photo is printed on a laser printer (colour photocopier) onto regular photocopy paper 80-100GSM … you can use any canvas and transfer onto many other surfaces using Powerprint transfer medium from Powertex Art Supplies ☺️I hope that’s helpful 😜🎨🎨🎨
Thanks ❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
so what did u brush on it what was it called please
Brilliant video thank you for your time deserves my sub
Thank you 🙏
I am very interested ,your work, God bless you ❤
Thank you ☺
How far above the canvas was the blow dryer? I couldn't see how tall of a box you used. Also the hole of the box was just barely in the edge of the shot. Just thought you should know because I'm sure the proximity of the dryer to the canvas is pretty crucial to prevent burning and incorrect setting..? But I did really enjoy your video can't wait to try!
Hey Amanda Im glad you enjoyed the video... The hairdryer was approximately 40cm from the canvas, with the hole cut in the centre of the box... don't leave it unattended ☺❤🎨🎨
What did u apply first I couldn't hear.
Can this be done with a regular picture photo When it would be nice to write everything we need
the photo is printed on a laser printer (colour photocopier) onto regular photocopy paper 80-100GSM … you can use any canvas and transfer onto many other surfaces using Powerprint transfer medium from Powertex Art Supplies... I finish it with Easycoat Glossy or Matt also available from Powertex ☺I hope that’s helpful
Great video! I wasnt clear on your photo. Was this an enlarged photo from photopaper or a photo from a magazine? Im curious if you can set a photo from a magazine this way. Also, was your canvas prepared with gesso first or just raw canvas? Thank you!
Thanks... Im glad you enjoyed it ☺I use my own photos / or photos of my artwork (not magazine images) printed on regular photocopy paper (colour photocopy / laser print) I haven't tried transferring magazine images / My canvases are prepared with gesso 😜 enjoy creating 🎨🎨🎨
Transferring a magazine image with Powerprint doesn't work because the paper doesn't absorb the medium... A work around would be to make a colour photocopy of the magazine image and transfer that 😜🎨🎨
@@powertexaustralia9230 Thank you! SO helpful!!!!
@@krisfriberg6660 excellent! ☺ enjoy creating!!! 🎨🎨🎨
Bellissimo❤🧡💛💚💙
Thank you .... Im glad you enjoyed it ☺🎨
Hello! I scrolled through but couldn’t find this question: Will this work with something other than canvas? Like a thick cotton fabric? Kind of like the stuff that outdoor pillows are made of? Thanks!
Hey Maria… yes absolutely! I have an older video on the channel that will help you: ua-cam.com/video/vOCw6pZJ3vA/v-deo.html 😝Please let me know if you have any other questions 🎨🎨🎨enjoy creating
Thank you for the demonstration. Going to try my first one this coming weekend. Do you have any suggestions for a big canvas and image besides, be quick!
Awesome... enjoy! For a big canvas / artwork you could print a jigsaw image of A4 prints and transfer ... I've always thought this could be interesting... i.e. you could enlarge an image to over a meter if you wanted and jigsaw the A4 parts together... alternatively you can transfer up to A3 and then extend /add mixed media ☺
Thank you!
Can this be done with any type of paper
That is cool
Can you put Acrylicpainting on top of this? Very nice to see this. Thank you!
Yes 😝🙏🌸
What was the white paste you put on at the start - I couldn't hear, because the music was too loud?
Hey Mary... it's Powerprint from Powertex Art Supplies... all the materials are in the description ☺ I hope that helps 🎨🎨☺
Interesting process. What format is your original image? Inkjet or laser on paper?
Hey Mike it was a laser print on paper 😎
@Mike Page: it can be done using either type of printer, but laser printing is generally thought to be best. I have done this process using the Inkjet printer. However the printed image required more care using this process.
@@Paul-su3qh yes the inkjet printer gives a more washed out / watercolour effect... ☺ but like you said you have to be careful you dont go too far 🤣
Is there something more you can do with this? Before you add the gloss can you paint more on it with acrylic?
ABSOLUTELY!!! There are so many possibilities... YES you can paint on it... experiment and play with mixed media and layers of photos... Read the description for more information... I have an online course Photo Transfers & Mixed Media that guides you through two complete paintings... if you purchase it any future content I make will be available to you at no extra cost 😜
Awesome,but what’s with the faces on the mountains ?
Hey Jim... Im glad you enjoyed it! Are there faces in the mountains... Ill have to have a look :) 🤣🤣🤣
You’re very welcome 😊
Hi, question. Is that regular paper or photo paper and what is the two things you put on for it to transfer?
Its regular photocopy paper 80-100 GSM ... Powerprint to Transfer and Easycoat glossy or matt to bring up the image (read more details in the description) ☺
Love this! Thank you 😊 can you substitute the photo transfer medium with something like mod podge?
I’ve never used mod podge… there are many ways to do photo transfers… but this medium is my favourite 😝
They have a modge podge transfer medium also.
I have a question please.... but when you use your paste, or whatever it is you use to adhere to the canvas. Can you use Decoupage paste?
Hey Elena I use Powerprint Photo transfer from Powertex Art Supplies... all the details are I the description... I haven't used decoupage glue to do a photo transfer... you can try it - nothing ventured nothing gained 😜 I LOVE the results I get with the Powerprint 🎨 I hope that helps
Thanks
