Great video. Does this technique work on canvas or any other surfaces?

Palma it says on it: Transparent and water-resistant glue/varnish. Suitable for transfer technique (sampling)

Palma i use Art medium from Schjerning and it is very gog to use...but just try another medium, and sometime i use wood glue.

I tried this on a mixed media painting. It ended up pulling away the layers of acrylic paint  underneath.Parts transferred and parts stuck to the paint. I've no idea why this happened?? I used Golden regular matte medium gel.

It was so funny to read "holy shit" on one of the works! I didn't know this particular variant of the transfer technique. You explain things really well. The selection of images as a moth, a skull, adds the examples much more power rather than using more whimsical motifs. It totally works for me. Some materials you mention could not be availablein countries like mine, but the idea can be adapted. Excellent.

Thanks for the video Gary!! Great to see that there are easy ways to transfer!!

Gary--That was one of the easiest transfer methods I've seen--no smelly chemicals or sprays, no really long wait, no hard-to-find supplies.  I'm trying this right away.  I'll add this to my growing Gary video collection.

Thanks, for the video,gary.

 

I have a couple of questions : Is the Transparancey film reusable? I have a whole pack of Acetate sheets that I was given, is there something that I could coat one side with to make it suitable for printing onto and would it work for this technique?

I'm really gonna give this a try, it was a very informative demo, the idea is different and it looks like something I could get alot of Ideas from.

Really helpful as every other source says you can only use laser jet images and I have an inkjet so I'll definately give this a go
Comment by Grant Dowling on March 2, 2011 at 5:51pm
Thanks Gary, I will be trying this...

HERE ARE 2 LINKS to TWO of my youtube videos talking and demonstrating about this amazing product:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIc02QBihJQ&feature=share&list=UUM6N5AOYoyg6eAkbcDWpNFg

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion. 

And this is the completed screen ready for printing.  I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).

I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
