I created this 6x6 abstract collage do demonstrate to my class how to do a gel transfer.
There is an image I cut out of a magazine in there, but with successive painting and layering of collage papers, about all that remains of the transferred image is that red rectangle in the upper center. That rectangle was a window in the original photo.
The whole composition reminded me of a haunted house. I should have photographed the transfer before I started working on it so you could see how this painting evolved.
The whole idea of gel transfers is to use them as a starting point in abstract composition. They are also useful to transfer an image of a person. I've seen some really cool compositions with old sepia toned photos. Make sure the photos of people are YOUR OWN, or you may run into copyright issues.
This painting is available for $100, including shipping in the US/Canada.
