Watercolor Transfer

Digital beginning

To start off the watercolor transfer I need to have something to eventually transfer. I used my pop art project and made a black and white version for a second print. After that I printed it out and stored it for later.

Watercolor

Once I had something to print I got prepared to make some water color sheets. Using classic water color tools I tried to paint one to look like rainbow blocks for the black and white piece. For the colored piece I made the paper a blue and purple gradient to match the pop art. After that I added red dots to spice it up a bit.

Mod podge 

Once the watercolor was finished I added the mod podge to the cut out pop art pieces and added it to the water color and used a squeegee to get the extra out of the bottom. I did this process for both pieces and set them out to dry.

Poly acrylic

Once the transfer print was completed I got some water to rub off the paper left after the print with some water. This took a couple of attempts to get the majority of the paper off but it ended off working well. Once that was all done poly acrylic was added to the prints to get the tiny bits of paper off to finish the piece.

Reflection

The printing process went pretty well in the end. I did pretty good up to the  rubbing part. I used too much water which made the water color bleed a bit which made the outer edge look a bit rough. Other than that i'm happy with the ending prints and good with the experience
