How Is It Done ?

To capture the colour, accuracy and detail of the original painting, a novel canvas transfer technique is used as a foundation for the reproduction. This technique shows you how to remove the image from an art print and embed it into artist canvas. After this step, the canvas weave will show through the colours, just like an original painting on canvas.

If the original painting, or print, shows no sign of raised brushwork, then your canvas is almost complete. The manual will explain how to add a protective isolation coat and ultraviolet resistant varnish that will enhance the beauty of your work.

Applying brushwork to image embedded in canvas

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.
