Emulsion Transfers


With emulsion transfers it's pretty simple, it involves a printed picture, some acrylic paint and some paper.
First you paint the paper wight the right amount to cover the photograph, then you paint picture side of the photograph as well. While the paint is still wet you have to stick the photograph paint down onto the part of the paper with paint on, you have to smith it down as much as possible to ensure it is stuck down. Then you need to dry the picture stuck to the paper until it is hard and dry. Then by wetting the back of the photograph you are able to peel / scrub the paper back of the photograph off, this will leave the photograph printed onto the paper.
I really like this style because you can control how distressed you want the picture to look by leaving some bits unpeeled.
