How's It Done ?

Canvas Transfer: An art print is an exact two dimensional copy of an original painting and captures all the colour, accuracy and detail from the brush strokes of the original artist. An art print is therefore an important ingredient towards creating life like and convincing painting reproductions.

Step by step, Secrets of Faking It will show you how to easily transfer the image from an art print onto real artists canvas. After this step, the canvas texture will become an integral part of the image.

The manual describes a new canvas transfer technique that can easily be done at home without needing any expensive equipment like a heat or vacuum presses. Also, unlike other techniques, you won't have to paint on any plastic coatings or films to transfer the image to canvas. With my technique, all the colour and beauty of the art print is retained with nothing added. You'll be seeing pure pigment on canvas that looks just like artists paint on canvas.

If the original painting, or print, shows no sign of raised brushwork or ageing, then your canvas reproduction is almost complete. You'll just need to add several thin coats of varnish that will protect and enhance the beauty of your masterpiece.

 

"Thank you, Clive for your helpful reply to my original art question ! and thank you for your personal interest. I always do paint my original painting on canvas. But I was hoping to sell prints of that painting, which would be faster. However, you've got me thinking... And I may just paint several originals. It seems so obvious, but I never considered it ! Thank you for opening my mind !"
Jeannine. Mar 2008

Enhanced Canvas Transfer : For paintings with raised brush stokes, you will discover how to easily add convincing brushwork giving a three dimensional quality to the canvas. Brushwork emphasises the colour with peaks, highlights and shadows. The picture now comes alive with the look and feel of an original painting.

You will also discover new techniques and tools that you can make for applying brushwork for the very finest of detail, such as blades of grass, hair, leaves, the tracery of branches, ropes, rigging etc.

Old oil paintings often have a patina of age or a network of hairline cracks in some areas of the paint surface. You will discover how to add these, and other effects, which adds a further dimension of realism.

To complete the canvas, artists varnish is applied to provide protection against dust, grime and ultraviolet light. Varnishing also tends to brighten the colours and enhance the brushwork with a transparent depth and richness.

The Secrets of Faking It explains even more techniques for easily creating replica paintings, as summarised in this section.

Displaying Your Work

Secrets of Faking it includes chapters with illustrated step by step instructions on:

How to Stretch Canvas
Stretching your canvas around stretcher bars, that you can purchase form arts and craft shops and stores. The stretched canvas can be displayed without a frame, often known as museum wrap. Alternatively, the stretched canvas is ready to be fitted to a picture frame.

How to Make Picture Frames
There's lots of alternatives for having your picture framed. Obviously you can go to a picture framer. Alternatively, there are companies that make the frame pieces ready for you to assemble yourself. You can also discover how to make your own picture frames and develop a further skill.

How to Make Picture Name Plates
To complete your framed masterpiece, a picture name plate attached to the picture frame provides that authentic finishing touch. The manual describes a new technique on how you can easily make picture name plates by transferring the lettering from your printer to brass, wood, plastic and other materials. The name plate provides the title of the picture and the name of the original artist.
