Mixed Media Painting Class:
Coat your laser images with six to ten layers of gel, letting it dry in between layers, or coat with ONE layer of tar gel.
I tried the six to ten layers method, a slow painful process with gel getting everywhere. The resulting images at 4 layers were fragile and tore; at 6 a little better but not great. Later Jeanne suggested doing just ONE layer of tar gel. When I objected to the extreme glossy surface of the tar gel she suggested just painting over it with matte medium. Dunh… It takes a bit longer longer to dry properly but is so much easier I’ll never go back to regular gel.
Once the gel has dried, soak the sheet for a few minutes in hot water, scrub off the paper backing, trim and play around with the placement of your images on your painting.
scribble painting with fish transfers
June 8: Put the fish image transfers on my scribble painting. Not so sure about them – they look a bit goofy.
