|
|||
If the Mod Podge has been left out too long and thickened, it will leave very pronounced brush strokes when you apply it.
So to make a print look like an oil painting first glue or Mod Podge it to a firm surface.
Cover with a thin coat of Mod Podge to seal all the colors and prevent bleeding. Read Kay Davies’ tips for preventing ink bleed.
When the print is completely dry, you are ready to turn it into a faux oil painting.
Use thickened Mod Podge and a thick bristled brush. Test on some scrap paper until you get the consistency you want.
It should be thin enough that you can still use the brush to lay it down and thick enough that it leaves very distinct brush strokes – like on an oil painting.
Use short strokes and try to follow the lines of the print. Pretend that you are actually painting the picture with your strokes.
Wouldn’t it be nice if oil painting were that easy?!
