Acrylic transfer

What I did for this image was print out a photograph from my computer, (from my environmental project), and painted over the image with a yellow acrylic paint. I used the colour yellow as these kind of prints work best with bright colours, and I simply thought yellow would suite the image I used. Once covered with paint I pressed some ripped card on top of the painted image and put it in the presser for roughly 5 minuites until it dried. Once dry, I peeled off the later of paper from the card with my finger after dipping it in water, gently. When I was removing the paper with my finger, I had to make sure I wasnt pushing down too hard as if I did I would remove some of the ink from the image. You can see on the subjects arm that I pushed too hard as part of her tattoo has gone and has been replaced by the yellow paint.
I then scanned in the final product into Photoshop and slightly adjusted the levels and curves just to bring out the tones in the image. I also added a 'paint splash' brush just to add an extra feature to the print. I kept with the yellow colour scheme to make it look as realistic and raw as possible, as if the image doesnt look like its been played with on Photoshop.
Overall, I am really pleased with how my print has turned out, as I think the image has stayed well on the card and hasn't been rubbed off very much at all. I also like the effect I've made with the brush I used on Photoshop as it makes it look much more arty and it just finishes it off nicely.
