Hi Jane, thank you so much for making this video, it was exactly what I was looking for. I was a professional photographer for over 30 years and have lots of beautiful images. These days I paint in watercolor and want to integrate some of my photographs into my paintings. I thought I had some of the materials needed but find I have the thin Matte Medium so looks like I need to go shopping before I start this new adventure. I live in Australia and we can't always buy all the items you have in the USA but I believe I can find the products you used. Thank you once again you make it look like an easy process.
Thin medium should work, Helen! The trick is to brush it on in a thin later and then lay down the transfer (on silk) right away and press it in with a clean wash cloth. DON'T RUB it or it will smear. let it dry and it should be good to go.
@@BothThingsCreative Many thanks for your response Jane. Sorry where does silk come into it; I understood you were working from an inkjet print on paper and then transferring to water color paper.
Thank you! While I have occasionally used various transfer methods over the years, sealing an inkjet lightly with spray first, that I have not tried but am looking forward to being able to use an inkjet! Very useful tip.
Thanks a lot, Jane, especially for this video. I'm a photographer too and I want to try to take my photographs into a new form of experimentation (to interverne them with paint or inkt after transferring them, for example)... I wanted to transfer my inkjet prints to watercolor paper, but I didn't know how! I thought (intuited) that the medium had a main role in the process, but I had a lot of doubts! Also, everyone advised using only laser prints... And I didn't want to, hehehehe. I watched several videos in my search... Thank you very much again! Regards from NY
Wow that’s an unlocking piece of advice, thank you so much. I wonder if I could adapt this to transfer my photos as inkjet prints onto Linoleum, which I’ll certainly try ☺️
Hi Jane. This looks really good but I’m unclear on why if you have printed out the image on copy paper to transfer onto watercolour paper then why not just print it out on the watercolour paper. What am I missing here?
Jane I’m confused about your answer. How did organza come into play? If your copy machine will accept heavier paper, why not print directly to w/c paper?
@@barbibarnum I think when she answered she was thinking of another inkjet tutorial she did using a butterfly print where she had attached the organza to the copy paper and printed through it
Hii Jane, not sure what clear acrylic finish is. Might be a US term. I’m sure we have in Australia but it may be called something else. Hope you can help
It' a spray sold in home repair or paint stores. Polyurethane is an example of a clear coating like this, but the ones we have in the states now are also acrylic, which is a polymer product. I hope this helps.
This is wonderful! Thank you, Jane! Could you let us know the Krylon product # and/or the exact name of the product? They seem to have gloss, satin and then two others that don't say anything about the finish. I use their UV protectant which is matte, but I don't think you mean that one. All the cans look alike :( .
You can put them on fabric but you would have to use Misty Fuse or a fusible web instead of gel medium and then they will NOT be waterproof so if the fabric gets wet the color will run. Inkjet on fabric is NOT stable unless it is coated with gel medium which makes the fabric stiff.
If the fabric is stabilized - like by fusing to a heavier surface. Otherwise the matte medium changes that hand of the fabric too much for my taste. On cloth I would use Mistyfuse.
you have just saved me a fortune, i have been using a local print shop to print everything on lazer!!!!

I just spent an hour searching for your video that I used when transferring a photo. It worked!! And I found it again!!! Thank you.
You're welcome!
Jane, you are amazing! Thanks for this tutorial. Because I have an ink jet printer, you have saved me many trips to the copy store for laser prints.
I'm so glad!

I'm glad to know this has given you some ideas!

Let me know how it goes!
Just what i needed. Thank you
You’re welcome 😊
This is an exciting technique and thank you so much for sharing it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Stunning print! Thanks!
Just watched today! My head is spinning with a myriad of ideas. Thanks for sharing this valuable information!
Thank you that is nicely explained.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Jane. How exciting. I know the person doing the tutorial.
Hey there!
Love it 🥰
Great video. Could you use acrylic paints or water color over this?
They may or may not make the inkjet print bleed. Depends on whether you used enough matte medium to seal it when you apply it.
Hi Jane. This looks really good but I’m unclear on why if you have printed out the image on copy paper to transfer onto watercolour paper then why not just print it out on the watercolour paper. What am I missing here?
The organza is attached to the copy paper to run it through the printer. The organza is removed.
Jane I’m confused about your answer. How did organza come into play? If your copy machine will accept heavier paper, why not print directly to w/c paper?
@@barbibarnum I think when she answered she was thinking of another inkjet tutorial she did using a butterfly print where she had attached the organza to the copy paper and printed through it
Thanks for asking this. I was wondering why wouldn’t you just print on the watercolour paper.

would this work on tissue paper that has been coated with matte medium then dried so that is more durable?
no.
which inkjet paper did you print on for the transfer. You called it "inkjet copy"? Thank you
Sorry for the reference to "copy" paper as that dates me! The paper I used is regular printer paper.
This is wonderful! Thank you, Jane! Could you let us know the Krylon product # and/or the exact name of the product? They seem to have gloss, satin and then two others that don't say anything about the finish. I use their UV protectant which is matte, but I don't think you mean that one.

I use a satin or matte finish. The Krylon product is literally called Low Odor Matte Acrylic.
Can we do thaton canvas
Probably, but it will depend on whether your printer will take the heavier canvas. Silk organza is light and very sheer.
Can you transfer a photo onto a feather? I tried this technique and it did not work, any suggestions?
I've never tried it so I don't know.
Hi Jane, how can I transfer images onto handmade paper please?
Citrisolv, gel medium transfer, possibly this technique...alot depends on the paper itself.
@@BothThingsCreative thank you
Can we use like image transfer on canvas or wood
yes.
Can you transfer inkjet copy to greenware clay or bisque clay?
Probably not, but to be sure you could try it. I assume it will bleed.
Hi mam where i get water paper you using please tell me
Any art supply store!
Does this work to transfer from an inkjet print to fabric instead of watercolor paper?
You can put them on fabric but you would have to use Misty Fuse or a fusible web instead of gel medium and then they will NOT be waterproof so if the fabric gets wet the color will run. Inkjet on fabric is NOT stable unless it is coated with gel medium which makes the fabric stiff.
