Prepping the canvas
1. For this version of a photo on canvas, I used a pre-made canvas and painted the sides black. I also carried the paint onto the front of the canvas just about 1/4 inch.
Adding the photo |
2. After the paint dried (left it for a day or two), I cut the image down to be just smaller all the way around than the canvas.
3. I attached the digital photo onto the canvas with an adhesive spray.
Sealing/Texturing
4. After an hour or so, I applied hodge podge to the sides of the image and the image itself. In this case, I used a paint roller to give it a bit of texture. I let that dry for a few hours before doing a 2nd coat.
and voila!
5. Last but not least, after all was dry I added a bit more black to the front edges to blend the photo edges with the canvas.
