Transference Techniques - Acrylic and Print

This technique involved spreading white acrylic paint upon the page and pressing a photographic print, face down, into it. Then, once dried, to rub away the paper, leaving a reverse image imprinted on the acrylic.
 

The above image displays my first attempt at this technique. I evenly and generously spread the acrylic upon the surface which created a full and mostly unbroken, very similar to the original but reversed and slightly discoloured, noticeably on the black areas.



With the second attempt I painted on the acrylic more sparingly, this created an aged effect, looking as if the image had been worn and ripped, or scratched away at, relating to our theme.
