Acrylic Transfer Project
Artwork
14" x 20"
As I completed the project there were various constraints which I will list here:
Constraints
-An image for transfer
- Foam brushes
- Xerox prints
- Canvas
-Paint brushes
- Acrylic medium
- Acrylic paint
In this project I created a layered acrylic painting with a wash background. Then applied a chosen picture to the painting (the transfer), which I created by layering mod podge over the picture and letting it dry then repeating the process. This was fallowed by soaking it in water so it could effectively transfer onto my painting, I then blended it in by painting the photo into the artwork in an inclusive way so the transfer looks like it belongs. After this I was finished and ready to hang my work. I enjoyed the process of this project it was fun to learn how to create a transfer and further explore my painting skills!

Reflection:
I usually do not paint landscapes like this so I enjoyed trying a new way of painting. It was challenging at times to find the right values using the ink to successfully create the right color I wanted. I am really happy with the way that this project turned out, I started out wondering if I would be able to create a beach landscape correctly and I feel like I got close enough to making something as realistic as I could. At the end of my process one really helpful critique I received was to add a dark colored sky which I think is really what tied my painting together.
