People actually pay to have photos transferred to canvas and now we dont have to do that!
Step 1: Print you image.
Paint your entire canvas with one good coat of white acrylic paint.
Be sure to paint the entire surface.
Step 2: Cover entire surface in Modge Podge.
Step 3: Place photo face down onto canvas and smooth out all bubbles.
venture to create as little wrinkles and bubbles as possible.
This can be sped up with a blow dryer also.
Without a dryer allow 20-40 minutes to dry.
Step 4: Spray the now dried paper with water.
This works best if you work in sections instead of soaking the entire canvas.
I used a spritz bottle with water.
you could also use a wet sponge or wet rag.
Begin rubbing with your finger.
layers of paper will start to peel away.
Be very careful in this process.
Peel one layer at a time away.
It will look vivid when wet but as the water dries it will look more white again.
I will show you how to fix that.
So one or 2 layers is plenty!
Dont over do your rubbing!
Then use a dry rag or paint brush to brush off loose pieces of paper lint.
Only the oil will not dry up!
Allow the oil about 1-2 minutes to saturate the thin layer of paper.
The Modge Podge will mix with the oil but dont worry.
It will still dry and the oil will still stay within the paper/canvas.
Then allow 30-40 minutes to dry.
